I'm a pretty active guy. I been doing a lot of home renovation projects in the last year, but more typically I'd be out mountaineering, rock climbing, camping or working-out on my weekends.

I have a wonderful girlfriend that hangs out with me most weekends. And two cats that are starved for attention.

Update 5-2018 - I'm still recovering knee replacement surgery later last September, but getting back to hiking and climbing slowly.

Why I’m on Couchsurfing

I like to meet interesting people and add a little good karma to my life.

One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

I've climbed 75 fourteen thousand foot mountains, the tallest peaks in the continental US. I've run well over 30,000 miles. Until I was in my mid thirties I could run a 10k in under 40 minutes. I raised three great kids. I've done day hikes with more that 11,000 feet of gain twice.
