Experience the Mountains Like Never Before.
Your Personal Guide to the Eastern Sierra
Having a private guide in Mammoth Lakes isn’t just convenient, it transforms your entire experience. I offer fully customized trips that match your goals, time, and adventure level. Whether you want to summit Mount Ritter, find the best views on a backpacking trail, or spend a day chasing waterfalls, I’ll build the ideal itinerary and handle all the details.
Not only will I be your guide, but your photographer as well, to capture every moment so you can relive the experience and share it for years to come.
Raised as a part time resident in Mammoth Lakes, I’ve spent over 20 years skiing, hiking, climbing, and backpacking throughout the Eastern Sierra. I’ve worked as a professional ski patroller at Mammoth Mountain and a guide with IGNITE Collective, bringing a deep level of safety, experience, and local knowledge to every trip. I’m a certified Wilderness First Responder with avalanche safety training and I’ve guided countless people through this wild and beautiful terrain and I’d love to do the same for you.
