Chris has been a professional mountain guide since
1996 and has guided at Mt. Rainier for many years.
His guiding career has taken him to many fantastic
places in North and South America, including many
foreign trips to Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Argentina,
and to the summit of Everest via the North Ridge.
Rock climbing, ice climbing, and fly fishing have
given Chris the opportunity to travel extensively
throughout the United States, Canada, and Thailand.
