Based in Jasper (Alberta), Canada, I'm passionate about rock climbing and wish to help you discover this amazing national park that I call home.

Before deciding to dedicate my life to being a rock climbing guide, I used to serve in the Canadian Armed Forces. I have lived all over Canada and rock climbed all over America. But then one day, back in 2014, I decided to make a drastic career change and went from member of the Canadian Forces to rock climbing guide and author. I have been concentrating on putting together a guidebook that will do Jasper some rock climbing justice!
