Get Healthy. Give Back.
10% of every appointment is donated directly to Adaptive Climbers Festival to support travel scholarships for climbers with disabilities.
Each year, Lindsay and I volunteer at the Adaptive Climbers Festival in the Red River Gorge. What began as a weekend for Lindsay to climb around people like her, has become our favorite part of the year. Lindsay serves as Assistant Programs Director, and I spend the weekend hanging ropes, leading performance clinics, and working directly with climbers throughout the event.
ACF is more than an opportunity for people with disabilities to climb outside, it is an opportunity for people with disabilities to become climbers. Having a wife with MS and seeing how much this community has positively impacted our lives makes me excited to donate 10% of every session to travel scholarships for climbers to attend.
USA Climbing Para Climbing National Team Physical Therapist
I began volunteering with the USA National Para Climbing Team in 2022, supporting athletes during international competition. Through that work, I gained experience working alongside climbers competing at World Cups around the globe and developed a deeper understanding of the physical demands of adaptive competition.
More recently, I was hired as the Physical Therapist for the team. In this role, I coordinate care for national team athletes as they prepare for international competition. It is a privilege to support these athletes as they continue to advance the sport at the highest level.
