Personal Information: I moved to Portland in 1998 from the midwest to be closer to the mountains. My wife Mary & I both joined Mazamas shortly after moving here and successively took BCEP, ICS & AR together. We now have a 5 year old son, Graham & are focused on teaching him to ski & climb. I started working at Mazamas in 2006 to stay better connected to my primary interests, my friends & climbing.
