About Me

Fierce Planet Adventures is a child born of an idea to live life passionately and to the fullest. There is a really fun story behind the name but I won’t bore you with the details.Face every day with a passion to do good, treat people well, explore the world around you, take chances, and have fun. Be Fierce in your pursuits.By way of background, my adventures started a week after high school graduation. Off to the Marine Corps. I was fortunate enough to have been stationed in Hawaii for a few years. After the Corps I spent several years kicking around my home town going to college and working for a local police department. In 1998 I moved to Colorado and feel in love with the mountains. Since I’ve moved hear I have had the privilege of working at the REI Denver Flagship store, leading hikes for the Colorado Mountain Club and volunteering with the US Forest Service.
