I spend my free time with my family learning to play soccer and baseball and the myriad of other activities kids take part in. I also enjoy woodworking and spend as much time as I can coming up with and building new projects. Be it backpacking, hunting, fishing, riding ATVs or playing golf, I like to get outside as much as possible. The opportunity for a new adventure always lies around the corner and I am always looking for something I haven't done before. I began mountaineering a few years ago and have had the fortunate of climbing in Alaska and mexico, having now been to over 17,500 feet elevation. I have my sights set now on climbing Mount Khuiten in Mongolia. I'll let you know when that happens.
