I started climbing 8 years ago when I moved from a small farm town in Michigan to Southern California. I instantly fell in love with the sport, but it wasn’t until I turned 18 and moved to Yosemite National Park that I started to master the craft. My goal was to climb El Capitan, a mountain that usually takes several nights of sleeping on the wall, but that quickly became routine and soon I was climbing El Capitan in a day with professional climbers.

I have always been pro-life, but it wasn't until I saw a picture of an aborted baby that I really understood what it meant to be pro-life. The “pro-life” movement is not a political movement, it is a human rights movement. The baby in the womb is not just an idea, it is an image bearer of God. When I saw the photo of the aborted baby I felt as though if I didn't do something to stop abortion from happening then I could not call myself a man of God. Taking inspiration from Free-Solo climber Alain Robert, the french spiderman, I decided that the easiest way to bring mass attention to the issue was to use my God given skills, but instead of climbing rock, I would climb skyscrapers to raise money to help women in crisis pregnancy.

Financial circumstances are the reason behind the 73% of women's decisions to have an abortion. LetThemLive.org, the charity that I raise money for helps support these women regardless of their circumstances. I climb to raise money to pay for their Job counseling, rent, medical bills, diapers, or whatever else the women need to thrive through all stages of motherhood. I think it is very important to encourage women in crisis pregnancy and help them realize that they are already mothers of children that deserve love and care. I don’t believe that a child's life should have a price tag. If we know how to save them it is our duty to do so. What I do is dangerous, it is very hard, and very exhausting, but whenever my life seems hard, whenever I start to feel burnt out, I think back to the photo that I saw of the aborted baby and I remind myself why it’s important to keep fighting for life.

I chose to represent Freedom2o because they share my values. Large Corporations dump millions of dollars into liberal activist organizations making the conservative movement extremely underfunded, so I am very thankful for companies that use their platforms to support the issue of life. I truly believe that we the people need to support companies like Freedom2o that will use their platforms for the greater good.
