About Sam
Born and raised in Marin County, Sam's roots in Northern California are strong. Throughout his youth, Sam participated on ski teams at Alpine Meadows and Squaw Valley, and his family commuted to North Tahoe every weekend and holiday growing up. College brought Sam to Southern California, but four years at Chapman University followed by two years working in Orange County and San Diego was enough time away from the mountains. After moving to Tahoe full-time in 2016, Sam began working for Squaw Valley Alpine Meadows as part of the Media and Communications Team, and later joined Alpenglow Expeditions to develop the Tahoe Via Ferrata. Fueled by his love for the mountains and passion for the outdoors, Sam has ultimately discovered he wants to share the magic of Lake Tahoe with those around him.
Sam is an AMGA Apprentice Ski and Alpine Guide with Alpenglow Expeditions, teaching avalanche courses and introducing skiers and riders to the backcountry throughout the winter. While he'll be "working remote" from the skin track in the winters, Sam is excited to share his love for Tahoe in whatever season draws you here, and show you the incredible opportunities that can be found in Tahoe year round. When he's not working, Sam can be found mountain biking, water skiing, trail running, or simply exploring in search of the next secret spot of North Lake Tahoe.
