"I am a firm believer in the power of passion to open doors and put you where you need to be in life. I've found that dedication, hard work, and a never say die attitude can get you to the wildest and most surprising places. For me this "dedication and passion" I speak started with five years living in my truck, climbing full time in Yosemite and Joshua Tree, while surviving on 5000 dollars or less a year, and sometimes diving in dumpsters for food! I look back on those days as some of the best times of my life. I try to treat all people equally and give everyone I meet my ear and my time. You never know what you might learn at the least expected time from the least expected person. If I'm teasing you mercilessly, that means I love you...if I'm keeping my mouth shut, I don't have anything nice to say. Occasionally I find myself serving up a little brutal honesty. I'm a big fan of gallows humor and look for laughs when the chips are down. Climbing is my life. My philosophy might be encapsulated as "The next one is the best one," be it a trip, a climb or a moment in time...thats how I roll. Now is all we have. I've lost enough friends to know that life is to be savored and cherished as if each day was your last. These days, I'm one of those lucky punks that it's hard not to be a little jealous of. I have to pinch myself sometimes...am I really living the dream, sponsored by The North Face to travel the world in search of the next great vertical adventure? Ha...I guess I am! Beyond Climbing rocks of all sizes, I'm super psyched to compose and record music, make movies, paint, ride my mountain bike, write for Climbing Magazine, set up crazy slack lines, update my facebook, film my friends cranking the gnar, saute things, eat ice cream, lust after Apple products, jump between towers, look at the stars, jump rope, get to know new cultures, and spend time with the people I love...and other stuff too! I consider myself a fortunate soul and try to savor every moment of this beautiful gift called life. |
