climbing bio:
Started climbing in the mid 1990s. Seven summits has taken me 8 years and 2 months. I have a real job so only could climb one mountain per year:) I am a regional sales manager for Blue Diamond Growers directing our exports of almonds.
Take small groups from my church up Mt. shasta each year.
Attempted Denali in 2002 but did not succeed as we were stuck in high camp for six days with a big group, came back next year with a small group and succeeded.
personal bio:
graduated from Michigan state University with my Bachelors and Masters degree in agricultural economics. Originally from Michigan and lived in California the past 17 years hiking in the Sierras. |
