My passion for exploring the mountains as a lifelong endurance athlete has inspired the inception of Sun Valley Skimo. The Wood River Valley has world-class backcountry ski access and is the perfect training environment for skimo training and racing. With professional education and training in endurance coaching, sports nutrition, and years of experience as a high-level endurance athlete myself, I hope to help build the next generation of winter mountain athletes to foster a shared love for moving quickly in the mountains.

I’ve competed in multiple National Championships for skimo, as well as other major races here in the U.S. My goal is to further the sport of light and fast ski touring for young athletes and adults alike.
