Hi, my name is Leo. I am a full-time dirtbag and I'm raising funds to buy a van.

What is a dirtbag? Octavia Drughi puts it best "In the climbing world, the term has become a sort of badge of honor, used to describe a dedicated climber who defies social norms, eschews material comfort, and works irregularly in order to pursue their passion. " Six years ago, I gave up my 9-5 career to prioritize my passion for climbing. I've never looked back.

Why is this GoFundMe important? Since I spend most of my time in the mountains, my vehicle is my home. Right now, the living costs associated with my current car are unsustainable. To put it bluntly, I might lose my home. I need help to transition to a more affordable option.

Why should you care? The more outdoor climbing I do, the more knowledge I can bring back to the Dallas community. My growth is your growth. Because I live this lifestyle, I've been able to take so many people on their first outdoor climbing adventure. I love sharing my passion. I love connecting with people through nature.

I took a big risk giving up everything to live this lifestyle. For the past six years, I've been able to keep myself financially stable. But today, for the first time, I have to put my ego aside and ask for help. Every dollar helps. Thank you.
