Blake started his days in Austin, Texas. While proud of his Texan heritage, he is grateful to have been moved to the foothills of Colorado at a young age. Blake owes a debt of gratitude to his father for introducing him to the Rockies and adventure. Blake resides in Park City, Utah where he has skied and boarded 100+ days a season for the last 16 years and aims to climb at least that much every year. Blake shares his passion for the mountains with others by working as a climbing guide for White Pine Touring in Park City, volunteering for the Salt Lake Climbers Alliance and the great community that is the AAC.
