About Me

I grew up in Colorado, where wildfires were a part of life. Every summer, the smell of wildfire smoke would fill the air, and the mountains I loved would turn into battlegrounds between fire and the firefighters trying to contain it. When I was 18, I watched the Waldo Canyon Fire race down the slopes toward Colorado Springs, destroying hundreds of homes in just a matter of hours. That fire changed the way I saw wildfires forever—not as distant, unpredictable forces of nature, but as disasters that leave lasting scars on families and communities.

Since then, wildfires have followed me everywhere I’ve lived. Whether in the foothills of Colorado, the canyons of Southern California, or the dry, wind-driven landscapes of the West, the threat has never been far away. I’ve spent years studying wildfire behavior, home ignition science, and the latest mitigation strategies—not just out of interest, but because I believe in the power of preparation.

The reality is that most homes don’t burn because of direct flames. They burn because of small vulnerabilities—an open vent, flammable landscaping, a debris-covered roof—that allow embers to turn a safe home into a disaster. But the good news is that wildfire losses aren’t just random. They can be preventable.

I’m here to help homeowners take control of their risk before the next wildfire threatens their community. I don’t believe in last-minute scrambling or hoping that a fire skips your house—I believe in proactive, strategic action based on the latest fire science.

With professional wildfire risk assessments and home hardening strategies, I help homeowners understand their vulnerabilities, prioritize the most effective upgrades, and develop clear action plans for Red Flag conditions and evacuations. I stay up to date on the latest wildfire mitigation research, building technologies, and best practices, ensuring that every assessment is based on the most current fire science. Preparation isn’t about fear—it’s about giving your home a fighting chance.

Wildfires aren’t going away, but that doesn’t mean we’re powerless. Your home’s survival starts with the choices you make today. Let’s make sure you’re ready.
