My Story

I grew up in Roseville, California, where I graduated as my high school’s valedictorian. But even while excelling academically, I was always chasing adventure, surfing breaks along the California coast, snowboarding every chance I could, and seeking new horizons that pushed me outside of comfort zones.

That hunger for challenge carried me across the world. I backpacked through Asia, climbing limestone walls in Thailand, trekking through Vietnam, and immersing myself in cultures that taught me resilience and adaptability. Europe gave me new perspectives as I explored Italy, Greece, and Switzerland, each journey shaping me with lessons in independence and curiosity.

Back home, the outdoors became not just a passion but a career. I’ve worked in the ski industry for more than five years, guided rafts through wild rivers, and ventured into the backcountry where every decision mattered. Those experiences strengthened my leadership, quick decision-making, and ability to thrive under pressure, qualities I carried straight into sales.

Now, as a Marketing student at Montana State University, I’ve learned to merge adventure with ambition. I approach sales with the same drive I bring to the mountains: building authentic connections, staying adaptable, and pushing beyond limits. Whether closing deals, guiding guests down a river, or climbing cliffs halfway across the world, I’ve proven I can perform at the highest level while still seeking out the next big challenge.

At my core, I’m an explorer of places, people, and opportunities. My journey so far has been defined by grit, growth, and a fearless pursuit of both excellence and adventure.
