Hello! Welcome to my website. This is my medium to share with friends and family some of the experiences I've had while traveling and climbing. Follow me through the rugged Sierra mountains of California, the glaciated volcanoes of the Pacific Northwest, or to some of the highest and remote places on 6 continents.

Be sure to check out my recent trips section with 60 photoworthy days in 2009, and my latest trip report on finishing my goal of climbing California's 14000 foot mountains. I'm still a terrible writer but I attempted to even things out with terrible photos. I've also added a new section, backyard sunsets, that showcases some interesting sunsets witnessed from my backyard. Hope you enjoy!

"I am in love with this world. I have nestled lovingly in it. I have climbed its mountains, roamed its forests, sailed its waters, crossed its deserts, felt the sting of its frosts, the oppression of its heats, the drench of its rains, the fury of its winds, and always have beauty and joy waited upon my goings and comings."   --John Burroughs
