TEAM AIR FORCE

WILL FINLEY
I was raised in the South East, but I moved around a lot, being an Air Force “brat”. Growing up I was fortunate enough to travel all over the US and other cool places around the world, where my love for adventure grew exponentially.
I am currently a senior at the United States Air Force Academy where I get to live out my “adventuristic” lifestyle. My time in Colorado has allowed me to climb some of the highest peaks in the US, ski classic North American lines, and meet some unbelievable people along the way.
One of those people is Matthew Randall, who introduced me to Climbing for Casualties. Combining my lifelong goal of becoming an Air Force officer, my deep passion for the mountains, and volunteering to raise money through Climbing for Casualties is a dream. I am beyond excited to pair up my passion with a truly great cause!

ANTONINO DELROSSA
Hello! My name is Antonino, but everyone calls me Nino. I am an East coast skier, who has since migrated to Colorado to attend the Air Force Academy.
Since moving to Colorado, my free time mainly consists of climbing 14ers, rock-climbing, mountaineering, and most importantly chasing big lines, deep powder, and unending STOKE!
While I have never participated in a skimo race before, one of my favorite aspects of the mountains includes “getting after it” and pushing myself to the limits, which means beating Team Army!

MATTHEW RANDALL
As the Founder of Climbing for Casualties, I take great pride (and joy!) in participating in the fundraising events themselves!
I have never done a "skimo" race, but I am ready to confront this challenge head on and am honored to do so in a capacity that will raise money for wounded Special Forces Soldiers and the families of the fallen!
Although we are all competing for the same reason.....
Team Air Force IS GOING DOWN!!!
