A Little About Me
50 US State Highpoint completer as of June 21, 2015. I am the 270th person to have completed this list.
Before getting into state highpointing, my background is as a Northeastern US hiker and peakbagger. I became an Adirondack 46R on Allen Mountain, NY on June 5, 1995 and simultaneously completed the New Hampshire 4K, the New England 4K and the Northeast 111 4K peaks on Owl's Head, NH on October 22, 1997. On October 26, 1999, I finished the Catskill 3500 Club list of mountains with an ascent of Southwest Hunter, NY. I pursued the New England Hundred Highest peaks on and off over the years before finally closing out on North Kennebago Divide, Maine on October 7, 2017. I have also hiked extensively in the winter months and have completed big one day challenges (summer) including a Presidential traverse (NH) in 2005 and a Great Range traverse (NY) in 2006.
And even further back, I was a high energy kid, who spent large chunks of my childhood running around the woods near home. As long as I was back within earshot by dinnertime, no one seemed to mind. I fell in a creek completely unsupervised for the first time when I was 6 years old. Times were different.
