Fun Facts About Me
I enjoy being on a mountain – whether I am hiking, skiing or biking. I have hiked about half of the 4,000-ft. summits in NH, along with several in VT. I also summitted Mt. Elbert in 2007, which is the highest peak in Colorado (14,430 ft.). I love skiing and particularly enjoy the small, older-style ski areas where “all you can do is ski.”
