Chris M.

Chris was born and raised in New Jersey. After obtaining Bachelors’ degrees in Biology and Computer Science, he spent the next 10 years working as a Software Developer. During this time, his interest in the outdoors began to grow through cross country roadtrips and multiple backpacking trips, including the Appalachian Trail and John Muir Trail. In 2014, he left his home state for the adventures and unknowns of the West, and has lived in Colorado, Oregon, California, and Arizona. In 2021, he quit his development job to pursue guiding. He now resides in his camper van in Arizona and spends his free time climbing and exploring with his dog Charlie. As a guide, he finds fulfillment in helping people achieve their goals and explore the outdoors in a safe and fun manner.
