Namaste! Welcome!
Welcome to my website! I hope you'll enjoy learning about me and my expeditions. In July 2010, I broke the speed record for completing the 50 High Points in the 50 States. We finished in 43 days, 3 hours and 51 minutes from the summit of Denali in Alaska to the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii.
In April 2010, I completed an ice climbing and training expedition in the Alaska Range. In the past two years, I climbed 14 of Colorado's "Fourteeners," in eight days to raise awareness for Pulmonary Hypertension and summited Aconcagua (22,841 ft) in Argentina, Mount Elbrus (18,510 ft) in southern Russia and Mount Kilimanjaro (19,341 ft) in Tanzania. I also trekked to Nepal's Everest Base Camp and climbed Kala Patar (18,550 ft).
Current news and media links can be found below and also in my Press Room.
