Max was born and raised in Salt Lake City, where he spent much of his twenties navigating the challenges of urban life while finding balance and renewal in Utah’s outdoors through hiking, rock climbing, and camping. With a background primarily in the manufacturing industry, Max discovered a deeper passion for supporting others on their personal growth journeys. Motivated by his own experiences and the obstacles he has overcome, he is committed to helping individuals realize their potential through connection, resilience, and nature-based healing.

Max was raised in a family of seven that frequently visited their mountain cabin, where he developed a deep appreciation for the outdoors under the guidance of his father. He further cultivated his wilderness skills through the Boy Scouts, earning the rank of Eagle Scout in 2012. In 2016, Max participated in a wilderness therapy program in Costa Rica, an experience that profoundly shaped his perspective on healing and personal growth. He hopes to use the knowledge and insight he’s gained to support others in discovering their own capacity for resilience and self-healing.

Outside of work, Max enjoys expressing his creativity and staying active. He finds joy in skateboarding, painting, and often unwinds with a compelling historical or horror novel. A passionate music enthusiast and fan of classic films, Max draws inspiration from the arts and makes time for regular exercise to maintain both physical and mental well-being.
