About Me

I'm a fun and adventurous outdoorsy kind of guy. I enjoy running, backpacking, snowshoeing, snowboarding, mountain biking, flying and peak bagging. Suzanne and I have attempted a few peaks this year. We were unable to summit on Gray's and Torrey's due to weather but we were able to "bag" Quandary Peak (ELEV. 14,265) and Mount Audubon (ELEV. 13,200).I'm not just an outdoors junkie, I do enjoy indoor activities as well. Whether it is watching a game of football, a NASCAR race, grabbing a pint at a pub, sipping a glass of wine while making dinner or going to a social event, I can usually be found in the thick of it.Speaking of locations, I spend about half my month in the Denver/Boulder area and the other half in Memphis. I travel quite extensively with my career and thus I am not just limited to these two cities.

I'd like to meet:

I would like to expand my network of friends both at home and abroad. It seems that due to career limitations, I have had to be rather distant friend over the past few years. Those days are behind me now and I'd like to reconnect with old friends, find some new friends as well. I enjoy socially engaging discussions on the environment, activism or any topic so long as it is engaging and makes you think. If you cannot handle being in the same room with someone of a differing opinion, then we probably shouldn't meet. If not, then please hit that "message" button and lets talk about things over a cup of coffee.
