I am an MIT grad in physics and DEP'd into the US Army on 1 Nov. I ship to Benning on 8 May, so I'm looking to get as much climbing in as I can. I am currently coaching the Alexander Dawson School's Canoe and Kayak team, which races whitewater slalom and wildwater on regional, national, and international levels.

I love climbing, from teaching new climbers on easy ground to big alpine link-ups. My favorite climbing area is Red Rocks, NV, and my favorite alpine range is the Waddington Range.

I am a Leave No Trace Trainer, WEMT, and AIARE Level I.

After ice, the beer has to be dark and almost chewable. In the summer, a hefe is the way to go. Not usually into IPA's, but the Dogfish Head 120 Minute IPA is simply amazing.
