Our Backstory:
From our home to our art, we are a mountain couple that has dedicated our everyday life to the simple nature of living in the backcountry.
 
It started as 16 year-old love-struck teenagers who dreamt of creating a life founded in vast expanses of wilderness. Together we obsessed with spending all our days in the mountains. Soon we realized we were only driving to town to sleep and so we found a rental slope-side in Big Cottonwood. We got married, some land seemed to find us, and, at age 23, we started building our snowbound dream cabin in the Wasatch Mountains—accessible only by boards, snow cat, or snowmobiles.
 
We’ve each logged many years of backcountry snowboarding, almost all has been spent exploring and learning together. The raw, pure, chilling, joy that is shared between us as mountain partners has shaped our world view; together we ride. We’ve notched many long days, racked up months of glacier camping, constructed snow shelters, charted Alaskan wilderness, and perpetually vow to return safely every night.

-Buy a Story: As a professional snowboarder, yoga instructor, social marketing expert, published writer, cabin dweller, and mountain guide there is plenty to write about. I combine all these talents to serve and empower others through guided adventures, and unique story telling. I inspire others to reconnect with nature by following my wild heart deep into remote wilderness few have ever seen.  Our disconnection to nature is the root cause of many issues we face in society today. I'm impacting the world by guiding others back to their wild roots. Priced per piece, lets talk!
