Hey everyone!
I grew up in Leadville, Colorado loving the outdoors & climbing 14er's. With the two highest peaks & Colorado's tallest Range in my backyard, climbing was something I did a lot. So far I've climbed 41 of Colorado's 14er's, many of these multiple times. As a child, I traveled with my family and gained much appreciation for how wonderfully we and earth have been created.
I relocated to Anchorage, AK in 1999 and lived there for 7 yrs while I enjoyed traveling all over the enormous state. I moved back to Colorado and am able to climb a lot more now that the 14er's are my backyard again. I enjoy Photography as much as hiking & climbing. I was even told that I'm "almost decent at it" too.
Please feel free to visit my site to comment on the photos or request them. Currently they are available for purchase through Altitude10k.com and altitude10kphotography.artistwebsites.com.
