Hi. Hope you
enjoy you stop in this camp-Send me an e-mail if
you'd like to chat about any of my interests. I have links to
many of them here.
This is a gateway to the OSAT
Aconcagua Expedition and OSAT
Library websites
and
MIT
Class of '69 DUs
My primary passion is my family, including wife Holly and daughters Hillary and Vanessa. Vanessa graduated from Wellesley College in Wellesley, MA in 1997, and is continuing graduate studies at Boston College. Hillary is a junior at Wellesley. To paraphrase a bumper sticker: "I send my daughters and my money to Wellesley!" Not only have they both followed me in identifying Boston as the best place in the world to go to college, but they have also both figured out that the greatest guys in Boston live at my old fraternity, the DU house at MIT.
Hillary was inducted into the Youth Hall of Fame. My wife and I live on Mercer Island , Washington (great topo map link!)
My next
passion is mountaineering. I maintain a set of links to Washington
state climbing information I pursue my mountaineering
interests primarily through an organization called OSAT, One Step
At A Time, an outdoor and mountaineering club for members and
friends of 12-step recovery programs originated by a business
associate and mountaineering friend of mine, Jim Hinkhouse
I led the club expedition to Aconcagua in
1997. You can read more about our
expedition. To get an idea of what we in OSAT think climbing
is all about, take a look at me carving the
watermelon that I hauled up to the Inter Glacier to share
with friends for whom I was the sirdar who brought three other
sherpas for their
climb of Rainier. Friends acting as sherpas are a regular
feature of major OSAT climbs.
I'm a member of the Boeing Alpine Society (BOEALPS) and the American Alpine Club , and I've have climbed Mt.Rainier 6 times (out of 10 attempts) on 3 routes, Mt. Hood 3 times on 2 routes, and summited numerous other peaks over 10,000 ft, including the highest peaks in Wyoming, Hawaii, New Mexico, California, Idaho, and Montana. I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro in 1973.
I have other passions, but no doubt the most peculiar is my collection of "Do Not Disturb" signs from hotels and motels around the world. My collection numbers over 350 different examples now. If anyone has something to share on this subject, let me know via email. If you are an international traveler, I'd love to get a copy of the next "Do Not Disturb" sign you see hanging on the back of a hotel room door. If you pick up an unusual one for me, please e-mail me to get my mailing address.
I work in Product Strategy Analysis at Boeing Commercial Airplane
Group(but any opinions herein are my own etc. etc. disclaimer.)
Our family moved back to the Pacific Northwest in 1987 after 11
years in Chicago, where I was in Corporate Planning for United Air Lines .
