About Me
My name is Bob and I am a climber and English teacher living in Denver Colorado. I am originally from Pennsylvania, but made the transition to Colorado in 2013 to be in the mountains.
I am usually pretty active: rock climbing 2-3 times a week and nearly every weekend. Although I live in the city, I spend as much time as possible camping in beautiful natural areas. Being in the woods is the way I stay sane and happy.
In 2016, I received a new Aortic Valve and Aortic Stem. This was a surgical procedure was looming over me since birth, and I have been lucky enough to be able to put it off for 27 years. I got this fancy new hardware on June 1, 2016. This process went smoother than I could have ever imagined due to my preparation, pre-surgery knowledge and research, and the amazing support team I am surrounded with.

Since surgery, I have continued climbing. In 2019, I spent 3 days climbing "The Nose" route of El Capitan. I have also climbed Mt. Rainier in Washington, both before and after surgery, as well as many other rock and alpine adventures.
I love sharing my experience and knowledge, so please feel free to reach out.
