ABOUT ME

I am a part-time single father, entrepreneur, wanna-be climbing bum.

I spend most of my time working on my entrepreneurial ventures. A couple years ago I built an app for iPhone. It's called re-mindful and delivers a once a day random reminder to smile, breathe or feel the force. This year is all about HANGTIME (www.hangtimegear.com), home of the KOALA, the smartphone leash for life on the go. While I love what I do, l also think teaching in an outdoor setting may be in my future? Also more climbing and skiing!

My 20 year old daughter is amazing. She is tons of fun and I love being her father.

I am an avid rock climber, long distance backpacker, hot springer, lake swimmer and backcountry skier. It started with my dad taking me up those huge volcanos in the Cascades and I have been hooked ever since. I am lucky enough to live in New Mexico where on any given day I can indulge one or more of my passions and get back to my desk in time to work.
