I'm a retired teacher who has been a lifelong mountain addict. My father started me off climbing and skiing in the Cascades of Washington state when I was ten years old. I moved to Utah to ski and go to college, then got a job teaching in Germany where I lived for seven years. Now back in Washington my wife and I love to travel in our truck-camper throughout the western United States and Canada hiking, climbing, skiing, and of course photographing the desert and mountains we love.
