Here is my busy autobiography -

I now divide my year between Colorado, Alaska and short trips to visit family and the southwest desert.

Growing up in western New York State, skiing became a wonderful part of my life.  Somehow I always felt an internal desire to live in Colorado, the lure of the mountains, skiing and nature.  I made my escape in 1970 and bought my present home in Clark.  After 38 years, it is still a wonderful place to live - Friends, nature and a great job ski guiding/instructing at The Home Ranch.

After several years living in Colorado, I had the same internal youthful buzz.  This time I could feel Alaska beckoning in a powerful way.  On every camping trip I would prepare as if setting out in the Alaska bush country.  I became a student of navigation, weather and camping in bear country.  My first trip to Alaska was in 1984 and I have been back each summer since; with my 25th season coming up.  Over the years I have been a river and hiking guide in the Brooks Range, sea kayaking guide, sport fishing guide and a naturalist and photographer.

In 2001, after years of being a Captain for hire I purchased a very comfortable 45 foot vessel and started my own business, Whale Bay Charters.  I offer week long nature charters in the area of Glacier Bay National Park.  Besides the natural beauty and incredible wildlife of Colorado & Alsaka, I especially enjoy spending time with my family and friends and all of the interesting poeple I get to meet at The Home Ranch and in Alaska.
