Leaders

Bio: Originally from Denver, Colorado, I was drawn to Carroll College in 2008 for its proximity to outdoor recreation, especially skiing and mountain biking. As a student, I became deeply involved in the Carroll Adventure and Mountaineering Program (CAMP), eventually serving as its president. I graduated in 2012 with a degree in Environmental Science and a lifetime of adventure stories, choosing to stay in Helena for its vibrant outdoor community. After two years working as an Environmental Scientist, a job opening brought me back to Carroll in 2014. I now serve as the Director of Campus Recreation and feel incredibly fortunate to work with students and colleagues who care deeply about our campus community. My wife Sarah (Carroll alum ’08) and I are raising our family here, and I truly believe Carroll is a special place.

Interests: Climbing, Backcountry Skiing, Mountain Biking, and Rafting are my favorites but I dabble in just about everything.

Favorite C.A.M.P. Memory: By far my favorite memories always come from the CAMP Spring Break Trips. I love watching students bond, develop as leaders, have discussions about big things, and push themselves outside of their comfort zones during outdoor activities.

Major: Biochemistry
Bio: As the oldest sister of 5 girls I am the son my father never had. He has been dragging me fly fishing, rock climbing and backpacking ever since I can remember. Now I have fallen in love with these activities myself. I love the feeling of a fish on the line, the adrenaline rush of a big lead climb, or the peaceful tranquility of being completely off the grid in the middle of the Montana mountains. Most weekends you can find me somewhere that's not here. #weekendwarrior
