About me

I consider myself a passionate amateur of alpine mountaineering. I started climbing late in life at age 38. Now at age 50 and recently retired, I will focus on climbing for the next few years. I have four confirmed climbs: Denali and Shishapangma in 2007 then Orizaba and Everest in 2008.

These climbs are part of a new project - The Road Back to Mt. Everest. This year long journey will follow my attempt to summit Everest in 2008 plus raise $100,000 for Alzheimer’s research. Please read all the details and why this is personal and important me. Please come along!

I am absolutely delighted to have found the ideal partner for my Memories are Everything fund raising. The Cure Alzheimer's Fund is a non-profit organization that raises money and directs targeted research. Their mission statement is to fund research with the highest probability of slowing, stopping or reversing Alzheimer's disease.

The Fund is supported by grants from three families and covers all of their overhead. This means 100% of your donations go directly to Alzheimer's research! I encourage you to read more about the Cure Alzheimer's Fund at their website and to give generously today. All your donations to the Memories are Everything fund will be tracked so we follow our goal of $100,000 together. All your donations are US tax deductible.
