Climb The Rockies TV Ad – 60 Seconds
After I left Daniels & Associates, I took some time off and pursued two of my interests, mountain climbing and video production. The result was a series of video trail guides to a number of Colorado’s 14’ers, mountains at least 14,000 feet high. You can watch all the mountain climbing segments by clicking on the

XSspeed! Ad – 30 Seconds
In the late 90’s, the Internet was starting to skyrocket. The problem was that it was almost exclusively accessed via dial-up modems and that meant it was just too darn slow. A dial-up connection was maybe 45 Kbps on a good day and this was before Cable Modems and DSL were widely deployed. I was President of XSspeed!, which used FCC licensed microwave frequencies to deliver blazing fast connections over the air. XSspeed! had operations in Boise, ID and Sacramento, CA and licensed frequencies in a number of other markets when it was purchased by Sprint. These frequencies are now part of the foundation of Sprint’s blazing fast 4-G wireless network.

Longs Peak New Years Eve Climb – 13 Minutes
1988 was a memorable year for me. The company I worked for was sold, I left the resulting merged company and on New Years Eve, 1988, I stood on top of Longs Peak, one of Colorado’s landmark mountains. Watch me huff and puff up the north face of Long’s Peak in the dead of winter.
