At an early age, Khai began doing his best impersonation of a human tumbleweed. After high school, Khai tumbled from his home state of Colorado and headed east for college, south for an internship then finally far northwest for a career. In the years following, Khai would travel around the US and play around the world. Finally, looking for a place to call home and become rooted once again, he searched the US for a destination that combined some of his favorite attributes of locations he explored. Home needed to have dry snow like Japan, city-to-mountain access like Anchorage, donut options like Portland and a climbing scene like Colorado. He has found all the and more in Utah.
Khai works as a flight attendant and freelance creative. He enjoys collaborating on projects with outdoor brands and working with companies like Ski Utah. It gives the storyteller in Khai a chance to express himself. See Khai's collaborations and travel along with him at youtube.com/KhaiFlies.
