Occupation Detail
He started his banking career at the Citadel Bank just out of College, loved the industry, recruited by friends ad soon found job with the First National Bank of Colorado Springs and joned them in January 1976. Relocated to Woodland Park, Colorado after taking a postion with Park State Bank. Enjoyed the small bank atmosphere. After enough of the banking industry, I am administering a Trust Foundation in Tellerr County.
Climbing Experience Detail
Enjoyed all the climbs a great deal, loved every minute of those trips. Last climb in 2008 had a very close call as I was blown off my feet by the strong winds and traveled down to a very close edge of a cliff where I was rescued by other climbers. Very glad to get into the summit house after that close call.

Memories
Memories From First Climb
I was called to fill a spot on the climbing list as I was on my way out the door to go to work. I was the first alternate and a climber came up ill on the morning of December 30, and I got my call to fill a spot and never looked back. I was extremely fortunate to have been given that opportunity.
Memories From First Member Year
I remember how excited and honored I was to be elected as the New Member. I do remember the deep snow we encountered between Barr Camp and timberline. As I was getting exhausted breaking trail, other climbers would take over the duties of breaking through the snow. I will never forget those very unselfish gestures.
Memories of Family
I always enjoyed and treasured the time hiking with my then father in law Ken Geddes.
Favorite Memories from Climbing Fourteeners
I have to say how much I appreciated the memories of AdAmAn Forebearers as they influenced club envolvement, including Ken Geddes, Jim Bates, Al Pierce, Bob Stafford, Bruce Sommers, John & Mike Graham. The list could go on and on.
