Wild Fact About Me Back in 1997, I took a trip with some friends to the White Mountains in New Hampshire. We hiked to the top of Mt. Chocura (3,490' - all day hike). As we approached the summit, my exhausted legs gave out on me. I simply could not but one foot in front of the other anymore. I told my friends to continue on without me and I watched them reaching the summit. As I saw them climbing to the top, I knew that I had to do this. This opportunity was going to pass me by and I just had to do it. I mustered up the energy to continue and I forced my legs and feet to finish the final ascent. The view was spectacular, like nothing I had ever seen or witnessed before - making the hours I spent laying in a bathtub with epsom salts afterwards all worthwhile. No regrets!
My Philosophy Believe in God, believe in your friends and family, do unto others as you would have them do unto you... follow these and you can't go wrong!
