It was a fun packed weekend for me. I participated in the first ever Ride for the Cure in support of Cancer research and treatment in my hometown of Aspen, CO on Saturday. It was a 100 mile road ride around Aspen, climbing up Castle Creek Rd., Maroon Creek Rd., Owl Creek Rd., and finally...

We had a killer camp, great training and a super fun time! Thanks to the twelve riders that joined us. I really enjoyed riding and hanging with all of you. The training was epic. I was stoked to see everyone improve immensely. We stayed busy with all sorts of activities and a two day trip...

Today I celebrated my 4th ‘Liver Day,’ the 4th anniversary since my liver transplant in 2000. It feels like yesterday. It is hard to believe I was close to not making it just four years ago. I’m happy to be here today, healthier and stronger than ever before. I’m forever grateful to my donor family...

Hope you had a fun 4th! I enjoyed a great one in Aspen. It was a weekend filled with climbing, mtn. biking, visiting with buddies and eating way too much. The famous Aspen 4th of July Parade was a big hit. Long one this year! I especially liked seeing all of the Veterans that have...

My brother got married on Saturday to Hilary Peterson. I acted as the ‘Better Man.’ It was so much fun. I almost needed a heart transplant carrying the rings around before the ceremony. The wedding was in Dinglebury, CT. Missy of course caught the bouquet; it was a total set-up, everyone else dove out of...

I climbed Grizzly Peak with my friends Steve and Jon this morning. Grizzly is located up Independence Pass, and is Colorado’s highest 13,000 foot peak, just feet below the 14,000 ft. mark. The trailhead starts near Grizzly Resevoir, about seven miles up Lincoln Creek road. It was a brutal 4:00 a.m. wake-up this morning, but...

We returned home to Aspen from an epic Indo surf trip. Got some sick waves and a few good beatings. I had some of my best tube rides ever and have the reef scratches to show. We nailed some good surf. It was Mike, Anton, Missy and I surfing our brains out for two and...

I returned home to Aspen after a few weeks of kiting and surfing in Central America. I went down to Belize for my brother Jim’s bachelor party. He’s a big time fly fisherman and Belize is his favorite place. We did a lot of fishing and I busted out my kite a few times when...

Team Fiji/US Boaring made up of Adam Smith, Eric Warren, Justin Reiter and I competed this weekend in the 2004 Aspen Golf & Ski/Snowboard World Champs. It was a classic weekend of golf and snowboarding! We survived the golf course yesterday in Rifle, CO with a 66, six strokes under. ‘We played Wicked good,’ says...

This year’s camp was a great success. We all had a lot of fun putting it on. The facilities and cooperation at Buttermilk were unreal. Our training venues were unbeatable. We had top to bottom giant slalom and slalom courses with a quick turn-around lift, a new boardercross course, a full length jib trail, and...
