Professional Guiding Experience: 6 years

Brian has been exploring the great outdoors and chasing adventure from a young age. Raised in Illinois, he moved to Northern Arizona in 2004 after falling in love with the area. He quickly took to backpacking following his first outing in Yosemite National Park, which was a 100-mile solo trek through the High Sierras. Brian spends most of his free time backpacking in the Grand Canyon, summiting notable canyon peaks, and chasing Grand Canyon history. In addition to hiking and backpacking, Brian is an avid rock climber and enjoys climbing with friends throughout Arizona, California, and the great Southwest. Before joining Four Season Guides, he worked in the Phoenix area as an Emergency Department Technician, EMT, and artist. Brian finds true joy in sharing his adventures, experiences, and stories with others and looks forward to meeting new adventurers and making new friends on every trip!
