Senior Guide
With RMI
Sam is a native of Maine where he grew up sea kayaking, hiking, and climbing on the New England coast. He quickly shifted his focus towards the West where he attended the University of Utah and fell in love with the high alpine terrain of the Wasatch Mountains. Sam has worked and climbed in the North Cascades, Alaska and Utah. Sam is an AMGA Apprentice Rock, Ski and Alpine Guide and splits his time between Utah in the winter and the Pacific Northwest in the Summer.
In his free time, Sam can be found spending time with friends, fly fishing back on the Maine Coast and climbing and skiing in the Wasatch Mountains. In addition to his AMGA Certifications, Sam is an LNT Master Educator and holds an American Avalanche Association Pro 1 Certification.
