My Goal...

     My goal is to stand on the highest elevated point on earth, Mt. Everest. Although I have limited climbing experience I have the patience, stamina, mental fortitude, and strong willpower to make the summit. In February 2007 I successfully reached the summit of Mt. Cotopaxi, a volcano in northern Ecuador standing at 19,347ft. I am currently in the process of training and plan on climbing other high peaks such as Mt. Kilimanjaro before Everest.

     I  come from a lower, middle class family and I am entirely self sufficient when it comes to travel. I need approximately $65,000 to cover my Everest park fees, Sherpas, and climbing gear. This website was created to spread the word and try to get as much support as I possibly can before I try my first attempt to summit in between the months of March-May of 2010.
