On 14 June 2011, I stood on the summit of Kilimanjaro with my 79 year old father. He had taken me up my first mountain at age 11 and this proved to be an emotional experience for both of us.

Louis Bird and I successfully completed The Great Pacific Race from Monterey Bay to Honolulu between June 4 and July 29, 2016. We placed first among the “Classic Pairs” class of rowboats with an official time of 54 days 42 minutes which is the new course record in this class.
