HOST ME AS A SPEAKER

2,800 Mountains: Three Decades of Climbing  Fewer than fifty Americans have climbed so many mountains, and I'm one of them. In this program I share 100 images from America's greatest ranges.

True Wilderness: The Adirondacks and the Trans Adirondack Route  My 100 best images from the largest forest preserve in the Lower Forty-Eight are shared among discussions of adventure, history, and ecology.

Adirondack Place Names: Why is That Thing Called That?  100 place names are historically deciphered via a decade of research. As I like to say, "Behind every name there's a story, and the story's usually good."
