For over two decades, I have trained athletes for mountain adventures around the world through my online personal training company in Seattle, WA. I’ve co-authored The Outdoor Athlete with my husband Doug, created Train to Climb Mt. Rainier or Any High Peak DVD, and contributed over 600 pages of content for our company’s website. More recently I’ve explored writing memoirs and children’s stories.

This blog will attempt to follow my explorations beyond the pandemic and into the unknown, as I try to cultivate a growth mindset, become more self-compassionate, and make nature appreciation and wildlife photography a daily part of my life. Join me on my adventure and make it your own.
