 My passion for the
outdoors started as a youth in scouts. Since then
I have lead expeditions on all 7 continents for over almost 25
years. The Adirondack Mountain Club was a logical and natural
organization to be drawn to when I returned to New York state in
’85. Shortly thereafter I met with Betty Peckham at the McDonalds
in Tupper Lake to begin now almost 20 years of leading extended
outings. The following is a short list of professional and
