Dan has been a climbing and skiing partner of mine from the early days of my living in Salt Lake City. Nobody I know has ever been as motivated as this guy to get out and do something cool in the mountains. We used to spend a lot of time climbing rock and ice as well as skiing in the backcountry of Utah. When Becky and I married in 1999, he was my Best Man.

Dan later moved away from Salt Lake and I eventually lost track of him. Fortunately, he has now returned and is back to the mountains with a vengeance. Little Superior Peak, Cardiac Ridge, Silver Fork Bowl and Big Ideas on the Horizon, we are wasting no time in picking up where we left off some years ago. Welcome back my brother!
