01 / FIELD LEADERSHIP
Wildland fire
& resilience
Wildland fire and fuels experience since 2017, with crew leadership, operational safety, instruction, and practical wildfire mitigation planning.
FIELDWORK / SERVICE / MOUNTAIN LIFE
Grounded in
the field.
Drawn to the mountains.
I’m Reilly — a wildland fire professional, wilderness-trained EMT, and engineer by education. I’m interested in the work that demands good judgment, real skills, and a little grit.

01 / A LITTLE ABOUT ME
Not a single lane.
A common thread.
I’ve always been drawn to the places where practical skills, careful thinking, and the people beside you really matter.
My path began with engineering physics, then took me into years of wildland fire and fuels work — leading crews, teaching field skills, and making decisions in demanding environments. More recently, I’ve returned to emergency medicine, completing intensive Wilderness EMT training and working in patient care.
These interests might look different on paper, but to me they connect: stay curious, prepare well, and do meaningful work with good people.

Wildland fire & fuels
Operational fieldwork, crew supervision, incident qualifications, mitigation experience, and training in wildland fire leadership and technical skills.
Wilderness medicine & healthcare
Completed NOLS Wilderness EMT training and passed National Registry EMT certification. Building further experience in direct patient care.
Computer science graduate study
Master of Science coursework at the University of Colorado Boulder, continuing an interest in computational and technical problem-solving.
B.S. in Engineering Physics
Miami University, with a minor in Computer Science. A technical foundation that still informs my approach in the field.
COLORADO MOUNTAIN COMMUNITIES04 / A BUSINESS I BUILT
RESILIENT WEST
Better prepared.
More resilient.
I founded Resilient West Wildfire Mitigation to help Colorado property owners understand their wildfire exposure and take practical steps forward.
Our focus is field-informed property assessments, clear documentation, and prioritized mitigation plans — turning years of fire and fuels experience into something useful for mountain homeowners.

Always outside.
Backcountry skiing, long mountain days, trail running, and following ridgelines. A few frames from my own camera roll.
The outdoors isn’t just where I spend my free time. It’s where I feel most attentive, most curious, and most connected to what matters.
