About me

When I'm not guiding, I stay busy climbing big rocks, professionally fire spinning at music festivals, and private boating with my friends.

The Best Part of My Job

The two things I love most about my job are the crew I work with and getting to run huge waves in Cataract Canyon.

How I found OARS

I worked at a few companies in Moab and decided OARS offered the best opportunities for me, especially opportunities to row high water in Cataract Canyon.

My Favorite Spot on the River/Outdoors

Currently, my favorite spot on the river is Gypsum Rapid, and getting to be among the first people to run this huge rapid that was buried below the lake.

My Fun Fact

I'm the 7th generation in my family from Moab.
