More Info

I moved to Eldorado Canyon in 1971 and developed a passion for climbing that has lasted all these years.

Climbing has allowed me to experience amazing places,with amazing people!

In the mid 90's my focus started shifting to surfing, wind surfing,and wave sailing.

At the turn of the century I moved to Maui to pursue my passion for ocean sports (with the best conditions imaginable) Every day!

I still have my house in Bear Creek Canyon between Morrison and Evergreen, Colorado.

I love to do routes when I am back.
