He has climbed all 54 of Colorado’s 14,000-foot peaks and his mountain endeavors have taken him to Argentine Patagonia, Australia, Bolivia, Chilean Patagonia, Cayman Brac, Ecuador, Egypt, England, France, Italy, Mexico, Norway, Japan, Spain, Thailand, and (hopefully!) many more beautiful places to come. His true loves, though, are his wife, Norie, and son, Hiroyuki, with whom he enjoys soaking in onsen, practicing Nihon-go, and sharing life’s many adventures!
