Ever since I was little, I was always looking forward to new adventures from camping trips with my boy scout troop to surfing large swells on the Outer Banks. It wasn't until I discovered splitboarding when I developed a passion for backcountry adventures on and off the snow.

I have the fortune of living in one of the most adventurous states in the United States. However, I also recognize the challenges that people with hearing loss face when it comes to communication, education, and travel in the backcountry.

 

With these challenges in mind, I've made a commitment to advancing my professional education in the backcountry and improving accessibility within the backcountry community.
