I moved to Alaska in 1995 and I like to camp, hike and explore the Alaska wilderness. My favorite activities are probably kayaking and mnt biking. I also cross country ski and downhill ski. I enjoy playing hockey but my skating skills are marginal at best especially for Alaska standards. I have received awards for being a top fundraiser through the Childrens Miracle Network and Multiple Schlerosis Society. Giving back is as important to me as being a positive steward of my community. I rode a bicycle from Hope to Seward and back multiple years in a row for support of Bike MS. Also Willow to Talkeetna, Talkeetna to Denali, Girdwood to Hope and from Anchorage to Palmer just to enjoy the State Fair. Most of my distance riding is fundraising for the American Lung Association or Multiple Schlerosis Society or just training for these crazy rides.
