About Mark
I get great joy from connecting parts of the map, crossing passes and feeling the change in the biology, geology and “l’aire” from one ridge or valley to the next.
My goal is to offer customized mountain experiences with just the right level of adventure for each client to get the sense of freedom, accomplishment and enlightenment that only exploration outdoors can provide.
I’ve led personal and professional trips from Alaska to the Alps, Scotland to New Zealand, and in both Americas. I’m also a certified Wilderness First Responder. I look forward to sharing my passion for and experience in the mountains with you.
