Associate Guide
With RMI
Aurora, Colorado
Longs Peak, Colorado
I play piano, drums, and guitar with a particular emphasis on jazz charts. I also spend many hours woodworking and metalworking doing furniture and fabrication for friends and family.
Eddie grew up in Aurora, Colorado where he spent many hours of his childhood skiing, playing drums, or tinkering in his parents’ garage. Since then, he has thru-hiked over 4500 miles, quested up alpine faces, and skied the steepest lines he could find. He graduated with a degree in Mechanical Engineering from the Colorado School of Mines where he managed the Outdoor Recreation program and helped fellow students with their woodshop projects. Today he enjoys playing drums, piano, woodworking, and always a proper outing into the mountains. He plans to pursue his master’s in teaching one day, and his ultimate dream job is to be the “cool” physics teacher for a school tucked away in some mountainous region.
Teaching! I love to find out how people work and how I can connect with them to climb high in good style.
I spend my winters in Bozeman, Montana where I climb a healthy dose of ice and ski as much as is possible.
I hope my climbers will return from climbing with RMI with a deep reverence for the power and scale of the mountains. I also strive to create a hunger for more learning, adventuring, and eventually more summits!
RMI Expeditions Guides are required to hold a number of certifications, but many go above and beyond with their technical and outdoor training. We actively encourage (and provide funding for) our guides' continuing education.

Mountaineering
The Five Day Rainier Climb offers the classic Mount Rainier experience with added time, margin, and flexibility built into the schedule, allowing teams to move deliberately, adapt to conditions, and fully engage with the mountain rather than rushing to meet a narrow summit window. That extra day provides the flexibility to choose the best timing for summit day (especially valuable when weather is less predictable) making it ideal for first-time Rainier climbers and anyone seeking a deeper immersion in one of North America's most iconic glaciated peaks.
The climb begins with a half day orientation at BaseCamp, then a full day of mountaineering school on the mountain, then spends two nights at Camp Muir in the private hut RMI uses — the only guide service with its own shelter there, giving climbers time to acclimatize, refine movement skills, and recover between efforts. Throughout, you climb in small rope teams at a 2:1 climber-to-guide ratio for closer instruction and more individual attention. Before and after the climb, your team is based at Rainier BaseCamp in Ashford, home to the BaseCamp Bar & Grill, Whittaker Mountaineering, and Whittaker's Bunkhouse.
