The mountains teach.
For my entire life, I’ve called New Hampshire home. My experiences in the White Mountains and my love of mountaineering literature have played a significant role in my education. Both have taught me important lessons about decision-making, leadership, risk-taking-and humility. My professional work in risk management has allowed me to put these lessons to use on an almost daily basis.
Several years ago, I decided to take things a step further by writing about real-life events that demonstrate the value of learning and heeding what the mountains have to teach us. In my writing and my talks with individuals, groups, and organizations, I also share my own encounters with decision-making challenges in hopes of helping others assess and reflect on the experiences they themselves have had at home, at work, or in high places.
