This little fireball turns 9. Absolutely incredible how fast time is moving. I couldn’t be more proud- and more challenged- all at the same time. Love you bug (at Rancho Bernardo) https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck4-tUkOfsr/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Ya I know. Late post and stuff- but im no deadbeat social media illiterate dad. 1st day school pics coming in hot! 3rd and 5th grade. Audrey is stoic and insightful. Quinn is caring and energetic. Crazy how different they are- but the same in so many ways. So proud to be their dad (at San Diego, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/ChYy6AxLOXO/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

15 years ago I bamboozled this chick to marry me. Haha. Sucka! We opted for a sub-artic San Diego sunset hike where the temps dipped below 65° 🥶. Packed all classic accoutrements. And crushed it. Ride or Die @jhowell55 the adventure continues. (at Mount Woodson) https://www.instagram.com/p/CVAxTPelhIVqDFqsm401zQrLY1-VScW39a5pas0/?utm_medium=tumblr

@verticalhold climbing camp has been absolutely awesome. The girls are getting so much more comfortable with their skills. My 7 year old belays like a champ! Ans Quinn has been crushing routes. Reminds me of….me 🤣. Their about ready for our austere rescue course! (at Vertical Hold Rock Climbing Gym) https://www.instagram.com/p/CR7YLCIB_UcJTvUJTMOF3mlTyhGlI9-jp9JjVg0/?utm_medium=tumblr

Making ACCESS is only 25% of the battle. ASSESSING scene needs & patient needs is a critical component in austere rescue. STABILIZING your casualty is more than just medicine, and EXTRACTION is the last great hurdle to overall mission success. Don’t let your guard down , there’s still work to be done. Get out and train. And train with the right people. And use the right gear 😉 @element_rescue @northamericanrescue @skedco https://www.instagram.com/p/CRt_zTiFNq5nrXi1zxmzWsbU0K4bj002jdBum40/?utm_medium=tumblr
