A Few Words: My interests lie mainly with peaks of the Southwestern United States, a combination of county highpoints, prominence lists and anything that seems interesting. My wife Beth joins me on many of these adventures, and a braver, more wonderful woman I have never met!

Ongoing Projects:
• United States state highpoints (45 of 50 done)
• County Highpoints (Completed AZ, NM, NV, CT, RI, almost done with UT. Also many back east with my wife. Total: 463 counties nationwide as of 2009)
• Prominence Peaks (195 done, mainly in the southwest United States - AZ, NM , CA, NV, TX, UT, etc).
• Plans for Fall/Winter 2009/2010: Working on the Arizona P2K list. Also seek some in the Mojave Desert and southern Nevada. Staying close to home.
