I've facilitated low ropes and high ropes challenge courses. I've led a group of national leaders developing an education program to teach Leave No Trace camping ethics and practices on the Appalachian Trail.

I like taking others hiking, skiing, or rock climbing. I like going out and listening to music or seeing a play.

Gifts of stories, listening (being "present"), food money, doing the dishes. Giving you tips on great hiking spots in the United States and Europe. I've lived in Massachusetts, New Mexico, Colorado, Montana, California, Washington, and Alaska. I've hiked parts of the Chemin de Saint Jacques de Compostelle (the Way of Saint James, the Camino de Santiago) in France.

I'm into hiking, backpacking, rock climbing, jazz music, recycling, bicycling, and experiencing the small towns of the USA and Europe. I've got an extensive library of John Muir biographies and nature field guides, and a little bit of philosophy thrown in.
