Mike Bennett

Originally from upstate New York, Mike grew up playing various sports, hunting and fishing and participating in Boy Scouts. An avid runner, Mike has been racing in long distance events since early high school. After graduating, Mike joined the Marine Corps where he discovered mountaineering while stationed on the west coast. Now residing in Colorado, Mike climbs, ski, and hikes as much as possible while working as an EMT in the off season. In the future, Mike hopes to expand on his medical training while continuing to develop his guiding career.
