I was inspired by the mountains at a very early age from trips taken with my father and grandfather. At age 18 I began working as a trekking and mountain guide to support my father Peter, who is an AGMP-UIAGM mountain guide, with his expeditions. Since my initial inspiration , I have had multiple certifications including earning his mountain guide certification at Estudios de Alto Montana (CEAM). I have had a very successful career as a mountain guide.
