My Favorite Pictures of All Time

Welcome to a gallery of my favorite pictures from over the years. You'll find links to the full albums as well some of the background which will give you a quick overview of some of the highlights of what I've been up to since 1999.

I'm starting off with a collection of pictures the time when I was at Berekely getting my Masters Degree. It was a great few years when I first was exposed to rock climbing and spent (a bit too much) time doing fun things not related to school.

The next big portion of my life was my move to Sweden where I lived for three and a half years from Christmas of 2001 until July of 2005. So many great memories and wonderful times!

I've been to Thailand four times, spending a total of 6 months mostly on the beaches of Tonsai and Railay, enjoying rock climbing, the incredible scenery, and most importantly meeting some fantastic people. The first year was just a warmup and the second year was meant to be the incredible trip, but our lives there were shattered on my 5th day there when the tsunami struck. I was incredibly stupid and lucky, and stayed around for another three months after the disaster and had the best trip of my life. I couldn't help but go back for a third trip and saw many of my old friends from the years before and the disaster did not diminish any of the spirit, the energy, or the beauty of the place.

Finally I have to finish up with my family who have been there all along the way and put up with my eternal travelling and being away for Christmases. What a fantastic family to grow up in!
