I'm a veteran, dog dad, and outdoor enthusiast living in my adopted home in Durango, Colorado. I enjoy big days in the mountains running, biking, or skiing. I hope to inspire others to live a more active lifestyle and take on massive challenges.

Tell us some fun facts about you.
I can ride a unicycle. Also, I never made it off the JV squad of my high school Cross Country team (I just ran to get in shape for wrestling). So, I find it ironic that I'm a pro-runner now! 
 
Why Altra?
No other shoes are like Altra. They fit the way my foot is shaped and can endure for the long run. I'm happy to be on a team of such capable folks with inspiring stories. Seeing the team behind the product and brand has been motivating and built confidence in a line of shoes I'm proud to represent.
