What do you do for fun?
Lately, I have to find entertainment while working because my boss is a slave driver. Just kidding. Normally, in the winter, you can find me skiing in the Wasatch or climbing in southern Utah. During the summer: climbing, cycling, and the occasional kayak trip keep me psyched. 

Do you intentionally stay off the radar, or is that a matter of circumstance?
I guess no one ever invited me to get on the radar! Seriously I have grown up climbing in Salt Lake City, and I have always been surrounded by talented climbers sending stellar lines. I’m proud and even look up to some of those guys on the radar. For the most part they are in another class. All in all outrageous looks, agents, entourages, film crews, and the rest of the radar necessities never really became part of our day! My friends and I climb because we love the sport; we love to improve, and more importantly, we love to be there for each other! A day climbing with my friends is much more than just climbing!

What is the best sport route in the country, in your opinion (gotta pick one!)
At one point, I may have said T-Rex in Maple. Long, Steeeeeep, great holds and fairly gymnastic. Although last year a few guys found about 30 extra knee bars and scums I didn’t use. I would have used them if I saw them but no luck.  Now I will probably default to Perfect Child. It’s long with delicate moves in a beautiful setting. 

What is your opinion on manufacturing?
I’m not into it! I have climbed some good manufactured routes, but I definitely haven’t sculpted any!
