My Projects
As an endurance athlete and avid outdoorsman, I am always looking new for ways to challenge myself combing those two qualities. Here are some of my upcoming, or most recent events!
Antelope Canyons 100 Miler
In March of 2024, I ran my first "official" 100 mile ultra-marathon. My training plan paid off, and I was fortunate to finish in 20 hours, 23 minutes, fast enough to earn me a first place finish at this race.
2024 Colorado 14er Record Attempt
The state of Colorado has 58 peaks that rise over 14,000 ft in elevation. The current record to climb all the peaks is 9 days, 21 hours, and 51 minutes. My goal for the summer of 2024 is to break this speed record, climbing more than 150,000 ft of elevation, 300 miles of trail running, and summiting 7-8 peaks every 24 hours over the course of 9 days! A documentary will be made about this record attempt and my path leading up to the attempt.
Nepal 2024
In April of 2024, I was afforded the oppurtunity to travel to Nepal. In particular, I spent three weeks in The Everest Region. Including visiting Everest Base Camp, I also reached the top of several nearby peaks and mountain passes. This trip altered my perspective on the mountains, and also on life, for the better.
All of my events are shared on multiple social media platforms, as well as an upcoming documentary.
