I live in Denver Colorado with my dog Clovis who inspired me to start PuppTech. I am an Eagle Scout and I speak French and Spanish fluently. In my free-time you'll most likely find me outside hiking, climbing, skiing, camping, paddling, or biking. I've climbed 34 of Colorado's 54 14ers and my goal is to climb the rest soon.
