I believe life is a thrilling, colorful, adventure filled with wonderful opportunity to grow and learn. I find happiness in enjoying the simplest of things, as well as in trying to understand the deepest complexities of the universe.

What do I love? I love climbing majestic mountains with their carpets of fabulous alpine flowers and granite monoliths. I am enthralled seeing rose-colored alpenglow, and flourescent orange sunrises viewed from the route to a breathtaking summit. I adore sitting with dear friends beside a mirror-calm alpine lake, a babbling brook, or a roaring fire ... contemplating the meaning of life, reminiscing about a crystalline moment from the past, or planning a future adventure. I relish cooking a delicious omelette or a Cutthroat Trout on a backpacking stove, high above timberline.

I am deeply fascinated by having rich, happy conversations with intriguing people about topics that rock their world. I am passionate about experiencing new places and meeting new people. I love helping kids learn how to respect and love the outdoors, master a new skill, build a fire, pilot a boat, and learn about who they are, and who they can become.

When I see a Bald Eagle fishing for salmon, hear an elk bugling under a full moon, savor the aroma of the Thanksgiving turkey, devour garlic shrimp from the bar-b-que with homemade lemon sherbet for dessert, I feel richly alive and content.

It is wonderful to feel my lover s tension and pain melt away when I massage tired, aching muscles. I cherish the kind of intimacy that creates a deep bond between lovers, with room for exploration, creativity, and fun
