07-24-10 | 01:22 pmMt. ElbrusLast night we returned from our 10 day journey to Russia. We got in late but went in to see the kids as they were sleeping. JoAnna and I missed them terribly during our trip and are thankful that they enjoyed their time with Cynthia. Our trip started in St. Petersburg where they lost the majority of our luggage. We spent the days walking around the town looking at the architecture and museums. We also took a couple boat tours and watched a Russian ballet, Swan Lake. We then took the train to Moscow for a day and then flew down to Mineral Vody. We took a 4 hour van ride to the base of Mt. Elbrus. We took the lifts up to the barrels at 12k where we stayed the first night. JoAnna stayed all 4 nights in the barrels while the rest of us climbed up to high camp at 15k. We then made an early summit push the following day. The weather window was perfect and we made good time to the summit. The descent was gorgeous as the clouds burned off the surrounding Caucasus range. I was excited to see JoAnna when I returned to the barrels. David and Oleg spent another night at high camp then descended the following day. We then spent a couple days in Azau before flying back to Moscow. David, Jessica and Oleg did a climb on the other side of the mountains while I did a solo climb up to 10k closer to the hotel. We flew back to Moscow the next day and then back to the US on Tuesday. The flight time was long, but we forced ourselves to stay awake to help reduce the jetlag. We are all glad to be back and excited for our successful climb and great memories made.
07-16-10 | 04:00 pmTomorrow JoAnna, David, Jessica and I fly to St. Petersburg. We will spend a couple days there then take a train to Moscow and fly to Mineral Vody where Mt.Elbrus is located. We are planning on 5 days to climb the 18,500 ft. peak, but are hoping for a quicker summit bid. We will then spend a couple days in Moscow before flying home. We are excited for the trip but will definitely miss our kids, Emily and Jordan, while we are gone. Wish us luck!
07-10-10 | 03:58 pmLittle TahomaThis weekend we did an acclimization climb up Little Tahoma. Little T is the 11k peak off of Mt. Rainier. I climbed up to 8k with my wife, JoAnna, then climbed down with her and back up solo that night. Me and a few friends then took off for the summit at 6am. It was a long day, crossing multiple crevassed glaciers and various rock climbs. But the summit was amazing with a lot of exposure on the Emmons side.
05-24-10 | 02:04 pmSherpa GlacierThis weekend my buddy Will flew out from Tennessee to climb Rainier with me. However the weather was not very good and avalanche danger was high, so we went out East to climb. We targeted a 2 day climb to Mt. Stuart traversing the Sherpa Glacier. The conditions were not ideal with waste high deep snow and 50 plus degree angles. We climbed up the 3000 vertical feet to the top of Sherpa Glacier then descended. It was a great trip despite the conditions.
05-07-10 | 07:43 pmMt. Hood SummitToday I solo summited Mt. Hood up the Hogsback route. The weather was great but I moved pretty effiently to avoid avalanche hazards after a week of heavy snow. I was the first person to reach the summit, enjoyed the sunrise and then headed back down to Portland where I visited with family for Mothers Day weekend.
03-27-10 | 09:24 pmMt. Shasta SummitToday I climbed Mt. Shasta as a part of a story for the Grants Pass Courier. Zach Urness came along for climb. The weather forced us to go up the Green Butte ridge due to lower avalanche concerns, but the summit day weather was perfect.
03-20-10 | 09:21 pmExtreme AdventuresToday the Extreme Adventures group went up to Camp Muir at 10,000 ft. on Mt. Rainier for a snowboard and ski ascent. Everyone had a great time!
02-13-10 | 04:46 amKilimanjaro SummitToday I returned from my Tanzania trip. Joe, Jason and I all summitted to Uhuru Peak on Kilimanjaro 19,340 feet on Wednesday morning. It took us 3.5 days to climb the mountain with a 1.5 day descent. It was an amazing climb and we had great weather. We then stuck around a day for a safari in the Arusha National Park. We ended the day with visiting some poor areas as well as an orphanage to give away toys we brought with us.
02-04-10 | 10:58 pmKili BoundTomorrow morning we head to Tanzania. The flight will be over a day long so I am not looking forward to that. But the climb should be good with good friends from Portland and Ohio. Wish us luck!
01-23-10 | 05:39 pmCamp MuirToday we hiked up to Camp Muir on Mt. Rainier and snowboarded down. Camp Muir is at 10,000 feet and has massive snowfields of great snow for boarding. The visibility on the way up was really bad, but a lot of it burned off for our descent. It was a great time!
01-22-10 | 07:41 pm2 weeks to go for Kilimanjaro! We have most of the logistics worked out. Now it is time to continue our workouts to build our cardio. Tomorrow I am climbing up to Camp Muir on Mt. Rainier and snowboarding down. Jason is climbing halfway up Mt. Hood on Sunday. And Joe, well there is not much climbing in Ohio.
01-09-10 | 08:36 pmHappy Birthday Emily!Joe, Jason and I are gearing up for our February 5th departure to Kilimanjaro. We are all working on our cardio since it is more of a marathon rather than a weighted or technical climb. Today is my daughters 6th birthday. We had a great princess party for her. I cannot believe how quickly she is growing up. Where does the time go?
12-16-09 | 06:58 pmMt. EverestI have been talking with a local friend from Mountain Gurus and we are going to start planning our 2011 Mt. Everest Expedition. There is a lot of logistics and costs associated with the climb so it will be a busy year to ensure our success. More to come.
12-15-09 | 06:57 pmKilimanjaroI decided to get a group of friends to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro in February. We all bought our tickets and I reserved the local guiding service. We will be climbing February 5 - 12!
11-12-09 | 06:56 pm11 Mile Trail RunToday Extreme Adventures put on an 11 mile trail run in North Bend, WA. We had a good turnout despite the wind and rainy weather.
10-10-09 | 05:13 pmEnchantmentsThis weekend Extreme Adventures did the 18 mile hike across the Enchantments. We had a little snow on the top of Asgard Pass but for the most part the weather was good. The larches were out so it was quite beautiful.
09-26-09 | 05:32 pmSnoqualmie Ridge Adventure RaceToday Extreme Adventures hosted the first Snoqualmie Ridge Adventure Race. My buddy, David, and I plotted the course a few days ago. It consisted of mt. biking and trekking. The turn out was great, we had an article printed in the local paper, which certainly helped increase the attendance. SnoValley Star Article"
09-26-09 | 04:22 pmAdventure RacesThis past month has been filled with a couple Adventure Races. The first was the Beast, which is a local AR. It was in Renton, WA and about 3 hours of mt. biking, trekking and navigating. The second was last weekend, which was the Trioba 24 hour race. It was in Plain, WA and started at midnight. We first did a 20 mile mt. bike ride, then a 12 - 13 mile kayak (pitch dark), 20 mile mt. bike ride, 25 mile trek (4 7000 ft. peaks) and ended with a 20 mile mt. bike ride. It was a tough race, mainly due to the sleep deprivation.
08-24-09 | 08:47 pmGlacier Peak 10,541 ft.This weekend my friend, David, and I climbed Glacier Peak in the North Cascades. It was over 30 miles roundtrip and we did it in less than a day. This was one of the most brutal days I have had climbing.
07-19-09 | 08:45 pmMt. Rainier (Emmons)Today David, Jessica and I climbed the Emmons Glacier route up Mt. Rainier. The weather was great and we moved really efficiently for an 8am summit.
07-16-09 | 08:43 pm3 FingersToday me and a buddy climbed 3 Fingers (Cascades). It was a 16 mile roundtrip hike with plenty of mountain goats, snowy traverses and a couple ladders at the top to an old fire watch tower on the summit.
06-29-09 | 06:56 pmEldorado PeakThis past weekend 5 of us climbed Eldorado Peak in the north Cascades. Although not a difficult climb, the summit at (8876 ft), the actual summit ridge is amazing. It is a very steep knife edge to the top with spectacular views of the cascades.
06-10-09 | 01:47 pmSnoValley Star ArticleThe SnoValley Star published an article on my Denali trip as well as Extreme Adventures. It can be viewed at: SnoValley Star Article
06-09-09 | 01:48 pmSo now that the Denali expedition is complete, what is next? I will continue to hike the local peaks including Eldorado, Hood and Rainier this summer. Right now I am not planning on a winter summit but most likely Elbrus in Russia next year. Elbrus is the tallest mountain in Europe. More to follow.
05-27-09 | 02:57 pmDenali ExpeditionMy Denali Expedition is complete. We made it to 19,000 ft. before turning around due to high winds, but we were close enough to see the summit (1000ft). Like I told everyone, the summit is the goal but the experience along the way is the true accomplishment. Never say never, but right now I do not plan on going back to walk the last 1000ft. We had a great team besides one individual that was escorted down from Camp II. Two people died on the mountain during our 3 week climb. And one of our teammates was blown 100ft. off of the mountain on our summit bid descent. The rope team responded quickly in self arresting to save her. As far as I know everyone came down with all of their fingers and toes, so that is a sure sign of success. Seeing my wife and two kids at the airport was the best thing I could ever imagine. I missed them terribly and I am very much enjoying my time at home with them.
04-26-09 | 01:20 pmDenali ExpeditionI have one week to go so I thought I would post the cybercast website just in case I do not have time to get on here before my departure. Denali Cybercast It is the expedition leaving on May 5th. Wish me luck!
04-20-09 | 11:33 pm2 weeks to goThis weekend I took the Extreme Adventures group up Mt. Rainier (Camp Muir) to snowboard down. The weather was great and everyone had a good time. 2 weeks until Denali. I am continuing my daily climbs and 6 mile runs.
04-13-09 | 12:37 pmWell I am 3 weeks away from my Denali Expedition. I have had a round of sicknesses come through my house but I have powered through them. My workouts have consisted of 3 to 4 60lb pack climbs up the local peaks and 6 mile runs in between. I feel physically prepared for the climb and have all of the required gear. Although I am looking forward to the climb I am not looking forward to being away from my family. I have a satelite phone so at least I will be able to be in contact, but nothing replaces being able to hold and tickle my kids....and wife.
04-13-09 | 12:34 pmClif Bar ProductClif Bar delivered their product sponsorhips this week. Thanks Clif!
03-21-09 | 04:17 pmThe RMI mountaineering course was excellent. The weather was as bad as we could imagine, which helped in our training. Although we did not attempt the summit, we had plenty of training lower on Mt. Rainier. It was a good opportunity to dialin my gear in preparation for my May expedition.
03-20-09 | 04:20 pmThe Medford Mail Tribune published an article on my venture today. It is located in their Oregon Outdoors section: Mail Tribune"
03-15-09 | 01:20 pmDenali PrepToday I am heading up Mt. Rainier for 6 days to train for my Denali expedition. The training will consist of crevasse rescue, ice climbing, sled pulling, building snow shelters and various other mountaineering skills. If the weather works in our favor then we will make a summit attempt. I will report back after my training.
03-13-09 | 01:15 pmExpedition NewsExpedition News launched a great article about my quest today. It is located on their website under Expedition Marketing. Thanks Jeff! Expedition News"
03-13-09 | 01:12 pmNUUNNuun Active Hydration contacted me yesterday. They will sponsoring my Denali Expedition with their hydration pills. I am glad to have Nuun as a sponsor and truly appreciate their support on this venture. NUUN
03-07-09 | 01:17 pmExtreme AdventuresToday we had our kickoff event for Extreme Adventures. We hiked Mt. Si during a freak snow blizzard. 8 people from the church showed up and 4 made it to the top including our pastor Charlie. Extreme Adventures
02-24-09 | 02:51 pmExtreme Adventures Kick-OffOver the past few weeks we have been building the Extreme Adventures group. We have a good number and will launch our first event the first weekend of March (hiking Mt. Si).
02-20-09 | 02:49 pmMcClellen ButteToday a buddy and I geared up and hiked the 10 mile roundtrip up McClellen Butte (5162 ft). The weather was perfect and the avy hazards did not give us any trouble.
02-08-09 | 05:41 pmMt. EllinorYesterday a group of us climbed Mt. Ellinor (5944 ft.) in the Olympic Range. The conditions were great except having to park 3 miles from the trailhead due to snow. The climb and view were great but the highlight was definitely glissading down the chute.
01-19-09 | 12:03 pmToday I hiked up to Camp Muir with a couple of friends and snowboarded down. The conditions were epic to say the least. It was a great workout with a perfect ending.
01-10-09 | 05:41 pmFloodsWe have had some hard weather so far this year. In November we saw some light floods, then the past few weeks we had a ton of snow, which then melted after days of torrential rain. This caused record floods in various parts of Washington. This past weekend I spent some time with Church on the Ridge helping out the flood victims. The river has receded, but it will take some time for residents to get their lives in order. I encourage you to help out where you can. There are many people in need.
12-19-08 | 01:24 amWe have had some unusual blizzard-like conditions here in the Puget Sound the last few weeks. It has been perfect weather to gear up and train on some of the local peaks.
12-15-08 | 03:53 pmToday MSNBC called to discuss Sponsor7Summits. Specifically my goals and drive to give back during these tough economic times. They did a voice recording, which will be edited and placed over pictures and video. I will post it on here once it is launched on their site.
12-12-08 | 04:57 pmCraig Newmark, Founder of Craigslist, emailed me yesterday with some advice for getting the word out. With the social networking popularity, it makes sense to blog about Sponsor7Summits to spread the news by means of word of mouth. Blogging is pretty time consuming but it is definitely an avenue I have not spent too much time on.
12-01-08 | 04:51 pmExtreme AdventuresMy wife and I spoke with our pastor and his wife about starting a church affinity group called Extreme Adventures. The goal is to bring together individuals with similar interests and as an outreach to youth in need of guidance, confidence and direction. We will host a monthly event. The information will be posted on the website calendar.
11-29-08 | 04:50 pmMailbox PeakJust a quick update. I am continuing my conditioning with the local peaks. Here is a pic from Mailbox Peak, which is a few miles from my house.
11-18-08 | 08:09 pmSo I have had a lot of interest lately for sponsorships. I linked Pacific Outdoor Equipment and Tech Labs on the home page. Both will be sending products to help with the journey. I have also had some interests within the winery industry. I will continue to reach out to potential sponsors as well as the media to ensure the success of the overall goal of giving back to those in need.
11-05-08 | 07:50 pmDenali ExpeditionToday I signed up for the Denali Expedition with Alpine Ascents International . The expedition dates are May 5 - 25. I have the winter to train, which will include one week of moutaineering school on Mt. Rainier in March.
10-28-08 | 01:15 pmToday I signed up for the Mt. Rainier mountaineering school in March. This a one week school consisting of mountaineer climbing and rescue techniques. It is mandatory prior to my Denali trip in May. I went with RMI (Rainier Mountaineering, Inc.) for this training since the Alpine Ascents class dates are too far out, which would make it difficult to get time off from work.
10-15-08 | 02:00 pmAs you may have noticed if you are following my progress, I have reduced the goals to a more realistic number. Due to the economy and hard times in general I decided to reduce the target goal of giving back to $10k versus $100k. I have reduced the price per block to $10 from $100. That should make it a lot more affordable for companies and individuals. If things pick up then I will look at readjusting the pricing and goals, but for now I think this is a much more attainable direction to pursue. I have continued my training. I will be signing up for a week of mountain training on Mt. Rainier this winter. And I still plan to tackle Denali this Spring.
09-12-08 | 11:27 pmMt. Baker SummitYesterday I summitted the 3rd highest peak in Washington, Mt. Baker (10,778). A friend and I started at 4am after 3 hours of sleep. It was a long trip for a single day ascent. This time of the year made for a lot of crevasses on the mountain so we had to find safe routes around them. My buddy stopped around 8000 feet so I made a solo ascent to the top. It was a beautiful day, very clear views of the surrounding peaks such as Mt. Rainier and Mt. Adams.
08-28-08 | 12:08 amClif BarI have been discussing sponsor options with Clif Bar for a few months. They will be sponsoring my Denali summit attempt next year with Clif products! CLIF BAR
08-24-08 | 07:19 pmAlcatraz ChallengeThis past Saturday I swam and ran in the Alcatraz Challenge. It was a 1.5 mile swim from Alcatraz to Crissy Field then a 7 mile run up and over the Golden Gate Bridge and back. It was an amazing event and an amazing experience. The currents were a little different than normal which made the swim a bit longer. I kept a nice and steady pace and really just enjoyed the scenery. My family came down with me to cheer me on. Plus we extended our trip for a mini vacation. The kids especially loved riding the trolley.
07-13-08 | 12:41 amMt. Adams SummitYesterday I met up with a buddy in Portland that I had not seen in 16 years and we made a 1 day ascent of Mt. Adams (12,276). I strapped my snowboard to my backpack and headed up the mountain at 5am. We reached the summit in the early afternoon and I snowboarded down until I ran out of snow. It was a long day but the weather was great, plus there is nothing like snowboarding in the middle of summer.
07-10-08 | 10:38 amProduct SponsorshipI have been working with Ironwood Market as a potential product sponsorship. They provide, among other things, fitness products. Yesterday I picked up my first shipment of products for this weekends climb of Mt. Adams (12,276 ft). I plan to carry my snowboard to the top and ride down from the summit. I will be using products from Ironwood Market the whole trip. "
07-01-08 | 01:49 pmSnoValley Star ArticleThe SnoValley Star called last week when my family and I were in Orlando playing at Disney. They ran an article today about my endeavor. You can read it at: SnoValley Star: Snoqualmie Man Climbs Mountains for Charity
06-03-08 | 12:43 amMt. Rainier SummitSo the first day we hiked from Paradise to Camp Muir. That is 5,000 to 10,000. Starting at sea level (Seattle) we went to 10,000. We were in the clouds that night but in the morning from about 8,000 and up was beautiful. We did some mountaineering training in the morning and that afternoon we packed up hiked across Cowlitz Glacier and over Cathedral Gap to high camp on Ingraham Flatts (11,000). We ate some pasta early then tried to go to bed since we were getting up at midnight to make a summit attempt. Nobody really slept due to either anxiety or comfort. I was not really thinking of the climb too much but it was freezing and I could not get comfortable. I probably got a total of 1 hour then it was time to get up. We had some hot drinks, lightened our packs, put our headlamps on and headed up the mountain. We traversed Ingraham Glacier and straight up Disapointment Clever. Some areas had ropes anchored for safety since the other side was straight down. It is almost better to do that route at night with headlamps so you do not see what you are walking across. The ascent was freezing and windy. The conditions were crazy; they estimated -10 degrees and 60 mph winds. The whole ascent was straight up and in some places knee deep snow. We could see a major gust of wind with flying ice particles come our way and we would hunker down, then take a step forward. For awhile it was 1 step forward to just get blown 1 step back. The sunrise was around 5ish and so beautiful. I pulled my camera out but that and my gps watch did not work because it was too cold. I ended up warming my camera up and got pictures on the summit and the way down. I started feeling the altitude at 13,000 feet, each step became harder, but I kept pushing. We went and went, higher and higher, it seemed like the summit would never come. We would get to what we thought was the end and another major peak was in front of us. Then finally we reached the summit at 14,200. We quickly looked around but it was too dangerous to linger or walk across the Crater Rim to Columbia Crest, so we turned back. We went down about 20 yards and took a quick break before descending. The hard part was certainly not over. Like Ed Viesturs always says, "Getting up is optional, getting down is mandatory". At high elevation, it is not only extremely hard to breathe, but to eat or think clearly. Mt. Rainier certainly is not as high as some of the other major climbs I will do but the unique thing about this one is that you gain a lot of altitude quickly with little time to acclimate. The altitude really did not affect me too much, so I was pleased about that. After our break we put our packs on and started our descent. It was ultra steep coming up so you can imagine going down. However you regain the much needed oxygen as you pass the different elevation levels. We walked across an ice bridge that covered a 1000+ foot crevice in a glacier. It was barely wide enough to walk across and they figured it would break in the next few days (did not see that during the night ascent). We made it to high camp and all pretty much collapsed in our tents. However we had to get up quickly to pack and head down. We then went to Camp Muir to grab some other gear and fill up our water bottles then headed down to Paradise. So we went from 11,000 at midnight to 14,000 back to 5,000. It was quite a day and it felt nice to be in the van heading back to Seattle. As we drove we had plenty of views of Mt. Rainier. It was amazing to think we had just been standing on the summit a few hours earlier.
05-20-08 | 12:04 pmTraining continues. I am one week away from attempting Mt. Rainier. I have all of my gear and have been hiking and running most days of the week. I mainly train early in the morning or during the kids naps as to not take time away from the family.
05-06-08 | 04:45 pmAlways something exciting. Yesterday I was on a flight to Dallas for work. Just after take-off a man stood up and passed out. He fell straight to the floor. Everyone seemed to be in a panic and then the flight attendants called for any doctors on board. I hesitated to see if someone more qualified would step forward, but after a minute I realized I was it. Since I was a rescue swimmer in the Navy 10 years ago I was trained in first aid and cpr. I checked the mans vitals and they patched us through to a doctor on the ground. The man was fine, most likely dehydration or some other type of illness...again I am not a doctor. All I know was his vitals were fine and his heart was normal. I did not really do much but the crew gave me a good samaritan award of 8000 miles."
05-01-08 | 04:41 pmThe Big Sur Marathon was outstanding. They really did a great job putting it all together. I completed the race, not the time I was looking for but I started cramping at the mid-point and slowed my pace to avoid injury. All and all it was a great experience and a good goal to accomplish. You can see me at the start of the race on various websites. Now it is time for some serious heavy load hikes to prepare for Mt. Raineir at the end of this month.
04-24-08 | 10:54 amFirst ArticleI got a call from the Monterey Herald yesterday. They got my story from the Big Sur Marathon coordinators since I will be running that race this Sunday. They put the story on the front page of the newspaper today, so that is pretty exciting. Here is the link to the article: "Monterey Herald Article""""
04-12-08 | 08:11 pmSo check this out. Yesterday I went for a quick 9 mile run before church. It so happens that there was a race going on in my town. So I am just running with the people and passing everyone on this 1 mile stretch (I was already 4 miles into my run). There was a place on the road where the race continues on a back road to North Bend, but that is where I was turning to take a different route to a park with a .75 mile track where I do a couple laps then head back to round off 9 miles. Well I guess the racers thought I was in the lead and followed me the wrong way. I didn’t realize it since I was pretty far ahead of them and when I was on the track I noticed a line of racers heading down the wrong way looking a bit confused. Oops....my bad. Still pretty funny if you think about it.
04-02-08 | 01:59 pmJust a quick update since I have not wrote for almost a month. This has been a busy month in training for the Big Sur marathon in a few weeks. I had some running shirts printed so I will be wearing my Sponsor7Summits shirt during the race. Hopefully I will have a decent finishing time but I am not making any promises. My signature move is to perform a cartwheel at the finish of my races. However I have never completed a marathon before so we will see what type of energy I have at the end.
03-15-08 | 01:08 pmI posted Sponsor7summits under the NY Times classifieds to run for 3 months. Hopefully that will get the attention of some potential buyers. I will also submit our story to some local Seattle newspapers.
03-12-08 | 01:06 pmI have reached out to some potential sponsors as well as Alpine Ascents. I have not heard back from some but Alpine Ascents agreed to link our site to theirs. I plan to use them on our Rainier summit attempt in May and if all goes well we will partner for the 7 summits.
03-11-08 | 12:43 amRappelling up on Mt. Si a few years back.
03-05-08 | 01:04 pmWith the Big Sur marathon only a month away I have really increased my running. I am trying to do a 9 mile plus a couple 6 mile runs a week. I just hiked Tiger Mt with a full pack and my new double plastic boots this morning. My body is certainly recovering from the long distance runs but I am feeling great.
02-26-08 | 03:46 pmAs I prepare for the summits I am trying to do weighted hikes up local mountains like Mt. Si in North Bend. I also snowboard, rock climb, mt. bike and rappel. I have a hard time staying motivated indoors so even if it is raining or snowing I would rather train outdoors.
02-07-08 | 03:41 pmI signed up for the Big Sur marathon in April as well as the Alcatraz swim and race across the Golden Gate bridge in August.
01-24-08 | 11:55 pmMy goal as it stands now is to hike Mt. Rainier this year then Denali next year. That will be a good summit to help prepare me for Everest. I would like to do Everest in 2010, but it will depend on money and my work schedule.
01-22-08 | 11:53 pmI am signed up to hike Mt. Rainier in May with Alpine Ascents. It is a 3 day hike to the summit at 14,410 feet. I have been doing a couple local hikes with a full pack to start my training.
01-21-08 | 12:36 amAfter a week and some free classified advertising I have seen over 100 unique visitors. However so far the sales are low. I hope to gain more media hype and web traffic in the next few months.
01-17-08 | 12:20 amA lot of people have asked how much I plan to give back. Without knowing how much the site will make it is difficult to determine a total amount. Once I start bringing in some money I will announce the total I plan to give back. Right now I plan to give a significant amount that will drastically change their lives.
01-15-08 | 09:53 amThe first thing you do when you launch a new idea is tell all of your friends and family. With that said we got our first customer, Good Home Stitchin!
01-14-08 | 06:37 pmSite LaunchedToday I launched Sponsor7summits.com to help raise money for our goal of reaching the 7 summits. I plan to give back a large portion of the money raised to needy families and organizations. My wife, JoAnna, is a social worker and really helped come up with the idea of giving back. If I am going to fulfill my dreams of reaching the 7 summits then why not give back in the process.
