27 Dec (THU): Less than a week away from boarding the first leg of my journey! Taking some time to visit with family for the holidays before returning to Columbus and beginning the marathon pack and go!

Hello, I am an OEF veteran, with 18 years as a Navy Corpsman and a co-founder of Summit for Soldiers. I also live with PTSD, Bipolar and once tried to take my life.

Climbing is my 'therapy' and following my attempted suicide, it has become the foundation of my re-newed purpose and mission. My quest is to become the first veteran to accomplish the '7-50' (Seven Summits and all 50-State High-points) and to hopefully become an encouragement to others to reclaim their lives and pursue their quests and dreams.

I have also have the privilege of carrying the "Silently Fallen Flag" on this journey, bearing the names of those we have known and lost to suicide. And all of this to bring awareness and prevent some of the over 8000 veteran suicides that occur each year.
