I'm 53, 6'1", 185#, short brown hair, brown eyes, beard. I'm self-employed and love the outdoors and travel. I'm always interested in meeting others from the area (and other areas) with similar outdoor interests. Please feel free to introduce yourself. ***Please don't send me a Buddy Invitation, UNLESS we know each other, we've been on an activity together, or you've emailed me first to get to know me. Thanks!***

The White Mountains (I love spending time up there all year long), the Adirondacks, the Longfellow Mountains of Maine and all over the world (I have ventured far and wide).

I enjoy hiking, tent camping, backpacking, swimming, biking (road), canoeing, kayaking, skiing, snowshoeing, etc. I love being outdoors and am up for just about any new activity. I am at various levels of competencies, but tend to push myself to accomplish what I set out to do regardless of the activity. * In October 2008, I completed hiking all of the 48 4000-foot peaks in NH. * In August 2009, I completed all 67 of the New England 4000-footers. * In September 2010, I completed all of the New England 100 Highest peaks. * In October 2011, I completed the 46 High Peaks of the Adirondacks (#7307) and the Northeast 115 (#655). * In March 2013, I completed the Winter NH 4000-footers. * In May 2013, I completed the NY Fire Tower Challenge (28 peaks in the Adirondacks and Catskills + Loon Lake Mtn). * In September 2014, I completed the 35 Catskill 3500 Foot Peaks (+ the 4 winter ascents) (#2311).
