In 1978, his family moved to upstate New York where he took up skiing, then subsequently developed a lasting interest in climbing. In 1991, he and fellow climber Stephen F. Porcella published the first guide to California's fourteeners. In 1996, he wrote the first guidebook to Colorado ice climbing.
