Welcome to my web site. Thank you for stopping by, paging through, and taking time to enjoy my work. I hope you’ll be back. Check out my blog for the latest, and for some archived images and personal adventures.

This has shaped me:

Born and raised in the small village of Flinsbach, and graduate of culinary school in Austria. One of my favorite simple dishes is Kaiserschmarrn. Ask me to make you one, you won't regret it.

IFMGA Mountain Guide - In 2001 I completed my International Mountain Guide certification.

Places I keep returning to:
the Dolomites, detailed limestone faces, larches and alpine meadows;
the High Sierra wilderness, bright granite, foxtail and ponderosa;
Yosemite, limitless boulders, endless walls;
and Patagonia, steep and windy.
