OfflineA Little About Me
50 US State Highpoint completer as of June 21, 2015. I am the 270th person to have completed this list.
My most recent adventure involved ascents of Mount San Antonio (Baldy) and Mount Shasta, California in June 2019. As I look to the future, I find myself intrigued by Gunnbjorn Fjeld, the highest point in both Greenland and the Arctic Circle. Actively planning an attempt sometime within the next 2-3 years … possibly 2023 if everything falls into place.
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. Most recently, I completed the list of all 55 Northeastern USA 2,000-foot prominence peaks with a hike of Boundary Bald near the Maine/Quebec border on November 14, 2021. 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.
