The New Stuff Area

This area is for any new and late-breaking news. If I have any huuuuge information such as upcoming trips, etc. it will be located here.

In June and July I was in Granby, Colorado doing fire mitigation work with Team Rubicon.  I was also able to summit my first 14K mountain in Colorado.

In November 2022 I was in Port Charlotte, FL to assist with the cleanup from hurricane Ian.  

In June 2021 I hiked up Eagle Cliffs in Franconia Notch, NH to see "The Watcher".  
This site provides information on various things I have done that family, friends, and former co-workers seem to find interesting.  I have been inundating everyone with numerous large emails and needed to stop the insanity.  So, I created this web site to eliminate clogging up everyones email box.  Now I can send a short email, "Hey, I did something, if you are interested, feel free to check out my web page."  
This website is the result...enjoy!
