Save NCAR

On December 17, 2025, the Trump administration announced plans to dismantle the NSF National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), a premier weather and climate research institution. As the developer of Trekking Maps—a 3D mapping application for outdoor enthusiasts—my work relies directly on high-quality public domain data from agencies like the USGS, NASA, NOAA, and NSF. My deep dive into sky rendering algorithms led me to utilize NSF NCAR's libraries, giving me a firsthand appreciation for the immense complexity of atmospheric simulation. Dismantling this institution would not only stall scientific progress; it would strip away a vital pillar of the data infrastructure that Colorado’s tech and outdoor industries rely on. Join me in supporting the #SaveNCAR movement to ensure the scientific community retains the resources needed to study our changing climate and equip leaders with data-driven insights.

Wilderness Conservation

I take pride in my contribution to The Wilderness Society's efforts on the CORE Act, where I created a special feature within Trekking Maps to showcase the proposed protected areas. I also presented the app at various events to raise awareness for the CORE Act. Our unified efforts have led to the designation of the Camp Hale-Continental Divide National Monument and a 20-year mineral withdrawal on the Thompson Divide. Join me in supporting The Wilderness Society to ensure future generations are able to experience our wild places.
