I decided to take last summer off to visit our 49th state. I took about a month to drive to Seattle, a month heading North through Canada and Southeast Alaska on the "Ferries", a month in "the Interior", and then drove back through Canada for approximately three weeks. See the "Web Development" section for a link to the website.

This past summer, I kept an online journal of my travels with pictures and multimedia here: http://foreversummer.escf.com/. I also created a website for my friends wedding here: http://foreversummer.escf.com/wedding. While I worked at SUNY Geneseo, I created the website for the Residential Network, which is located here: http://resnet.geneseo.edu.

I have always loved the outdoors. From as far back as I can remember, I have enjoyed eveything from a small jaunt in the woods behind my house to multi-day excursions. Recently I have gotten into Mountianeering. This summer, I summited Mt. Rainier in Washington. Here are some pictures of Mt. Rainier, and a hike in Denali National Park.
