I enjoy filming and editing adventure videos: Here is a recent trailer that I made for a river rafting expedition down the Colorado that took place this past April. Make sure to click "watch in HD" on the pop-up menu. The feature film is around 40 mintues, and unfortunately is not available online.

Quote: "One final paragraph of advice: do not burn yourselves out. Be as I am - a reluctant enthusiast... a part-time crusader, a half-hearted fanatic. Save the other half of yourselves and your lives for pleasure and adventure. It is not enough to fight for the land; it is even more important to enjoy it. While you can. While it's still here. So get out there and hunt and fish and mess around with your friends, ramble out yonder and explore the forests, climb the mountains, bag the peaks, run the rivers, breathe deep of that yet sweet and lucid air, sit quietly for a while and contemplate the precious stillness, the lovely, mysterious, and awesome space. Enjoy yourselves, keep your brain in your head and your head firmly attached to the body, the body active and alive, and i promise you this much; I promise you this one sweet victory over our enemies, over those desk-bound men and women with their hearts in a safe deposit box, and their eyes hypnotized by desk calculators. I promise you this; You will outlive the bastards." -Edward Abbey

A Few Words: Most of my experience hiking, climbing and mountaineering has been in Latin America. I lived in Guatemala for 2 1/2 years, and have extensively explored Mexico, Central America, Bolivia, and Peru. I have now made the move to Aspen, Colorado so that I can enjoy the mountain lifestyle full-time. I am always looking for partners for hiking, peak-bagging, and other adventures. Feel free to contact me.
