Hi, I’m Eric · Austin, TX

Trails, Peaks &
Tight Lines

Chemical engineering, clean energy by day — backcountry, summits, and cold trout streams every chance I get.

Welcome in — glad you found the trailhead. I’m an engineering student who spends weekdays working on renewable energy projects and weekends chasing high country, whether that means a long climb above treeline or a quiet small stream with a 3-weight in hand. This little corner of the web is where I keep the things that pull me outside: the peaks I want to stand on, the rivers worth driving for, and the gear and reports I actually trust. National parks, ridgelines, and dry-dropper rigs are recurring themes, so consider yourself warned. Poke around, follow a link, watch a climb — and hopefully you leave wanting to lace up your boots.
