As a professional climber and mountain guide for over three decades, I’ve come to find a variety of mountain sports and niche markets weaving their way into my DNA, imbuing a unique blend of skills, perspectives, and emotional intelligence that is hard to find.
Always driven by a passion to share and explore wild landscapes, thrilled with the delight of human connection in those “ah-ha” moments mentoring young and old alike, I’ve become akin to nearly every corner of the outdoor industry. From retail management and purchasing, to grassroots marketing plans (one of which has grown into the globally recognized Bozeman Ice Festival), and on down the line of events, tradeshows, presentations, R&D, and freelance creative work that led to Creative and Marketing Director roles … the list goes on.
Through this process, I’ve garnered exceptional insight into our consumer market, along with a breadth of well-refined creative and technical skills to turn these insights into increased traffic, conversion, and ROI.
