I've always been drawn to the point where form meets function. I got my start in an MFA sculpture studio at CU Boulder, learning how material, structure, and craft come together to make something people actually feel — a lesson that's shaped every collection I've designed since.
That instinct carried me from PEARL iZUMi into two decades leading design for some of outdoor's most recognizable names — Spyder, Billabong, Tommy Hilfiger Alpine, and beyond. Along the way, an ISPO Award, an Olympic Opening Ceremony moment, and a body of work I'm genuinely proud of.
Off the clock, I'm probably on a bike or at the gym. I've won three national championship titles as a racer, I'm a certified mountain bike instructor, and — when I'm not chasing a trail — a certified yoga instructor keeping me honest about balance. Come winter, you'll find me on a snowboard, not skis.
I built my career on the belief that great design starts with people — the athletes who wear it, the teams who build it, and the culture around both. That's still what gets me out of bed: elevating people, to elevate brands.
Solve the mechanical problem first, then build material and construction around it. Craftsmanship over decoration.
Opinion shouldn't win a design review; the product should. I build gate systems, criteria and toolkits so decisions are made on evidence, season after season.
Brands are built by teams. I hire for craft and curiosity, teach outerwear, color, trim and materials hands-on, and build the processes that let a team scale beyond me.
