I started testing gear for Switchback because I enjoy being outside and know the importance of using the right gear to to be safe and have fun.Â
How I Began My Career
I grew up in Arizona hunting, fishing, building questionable forts, and galavanting in the desert of the Navajo reservation. This upbringing planted the seed for me to continue exploring the outdoors in British Columbia as a mountain guide, and ultimately brought me to Wenatchee, Washington, where I work on ski patrol seasonally at Mission Ridge Resort.
