Travel Explorer | Creative Adventurer

Hello I am a traveler, explorer, regional Emmy®-winning filmmaker, and creative adventurer. From the peaks of Colorado’s fourteeners to the historic streets of Europe, I explore the world through my boots and my camera. Hiking, climbing, and traveling fuel the stories, landscapes, and cultural discoveries I share here—alongside trail guides, climbing adventures, travel narratives, and behind-the-scenes creative projects.
Adventures in Climbing and Hiking

Staunton State Park is my favorite climbing area in Colorado, offering climbers a stunning mix of granite walls and great approach trails in the Colorado sun. With routes for all skill levels, from beginner slabs to challenging multi-pitch climbs, it’s a perfect destination for adventure, training, and breathtaking mountain views.

Clear Creek Canyon is a premier climbing destination in Colorado’s Front Range, offering a wide range of sport and trad routes for all skill levels. With easy access, dramatic canyon walls, and one of Colorado’s most popular climbing spots, it’s a must-visit for climbers seeking adventure and challenge.

Rocky Mountain National Park offers hikers breathtaking alpine scenery, from lush valleys to towering peaks. With trails for all levels, explore wildflower meadows, crystal-clear lakes, and rugged mountain paths where fresh air, wildlife, and unforgettable views make every step an adventure.

Arches National Park
Arches National Park offers hikers a stunning desert landscape filled with iconic sandstone arches and rock formations. Explore trails for all skill levels, wander red-rock canyons, and experience sweeping views where natural beauty, adventure, and the spirit of the Southwest come alive.
