Many Steps Make Mountains

Many Steps Make Mountains explores mountain life beyond the summit. Through essays on skiing, running, recovery, family, and the places we choose to build our lives, it examines what happens when the mountains become part of who we are.

The mountains have shaped much of my life.

I live in Truckee, California with my wife and daughter and spend as much time as possible skiing, running, biking, and exploring the Sierra Nevada.

Many Steps Make Mountains began as an outdoor blog but gradually became a collection of essays about the things mountain life reveals: resilience, risk, aging, recovery, family, perspective, and the quiet satisfaction that comes from doing hard things for a long time.

Some posts are practical.

Some are personal.

All are inspired by a belief that meaningful things are rarely accomplished in a single leap.

Many steps make mountains.
