I am a volunteer hike leader with The Mountaineers, and course administrator for the Olympia Conditioning Hiking Series. I am also a former Secretary of the Issaquah Alps Trail Club, board member at Washington Trails Association, and member of the Parks & Recreation Commission for the City of Federal Way. I am strictly a weekend warrior, supporting my hiking habit by working as a probate and estate planning paralegal. I live in Union with my wife, Rhea, where we keep the lights on so that our children and grandchild can come home whenever they're able.
