My traditional education came from studying and focusing on Applied Business Psychology in my undergraduate years and Experiential Education with an emphasis on Leadership Studies and Organizational Development during graduate school at Minnesota State University.
My practical education has come from running an experiential training and development company for 14 years and working with countless business leaders and teams.

From Alaska to Nepal and lots of places in between, I can tell you that in all my life experiences, rock climbing has both humbled me and taught me the most valuable lessons of my life.
