About Us
Grand Canyon & Yosemite National Parks are two of my great passions. I've been visiting Yosemite with my parents and siblings for as long as I can remember - one of my earliest memories is watching the Glacier Point Firefall with my dad (it was discontinued in the late 60's or early 70's). We tramped many of its trails as a family, and I continued that legacy after I left home. Yosemite is as much home to me as is the town that I actually grew up in, here in northern California.
I produced DVD Hiking Guide - Yosemite because of my desire to share my love and knowledge of Yosemite with others. My goal was to author a DVD that would make the viewers feel as if they were hiking Yosemite's trails with a park ranger. To that end I've spent many hours doing research to confirm what I already knew, and then to dig a little
deeper.
This is not to say that the DVD is about facts and figures. First and foremost it is about the beauty of this grand park. I wanted to excite others about Yosemite, and to fill my viewers with passion for this great place. I take pleasure in that the reviews my DVD is getting seem to indicate that I have accomplished those objectives.
My fascination with Grand Canyon National Park was awakened in the late '70's. A special issue of National Geographic had the Grand Canyon as its subject, and the issue included a topographic map of the Canyon. I literally spent hours pouring over the map, mesmerized. The topo lines were transformed into canyons, buttes and spires. The names fired my imagination: Phantom Ranch, Bright Angel Creek, Wotan's Throne. The Grand Canyon became, to me, a Shangra-la. In 1984
my dream came true and I found myself looking down in the Canyon that I had imagined on the topographic map. It was love at first sight.
Following the success of Yosemite, my passion and zeal for the Grand Canyon created a desire to produce a Grand Canyon hiking guide that would serve both to inform and inspire. I purchased the two other DVD hiking guides of the Grand Canyon with the express purpose of creating a superior product. I believe that this has
been accomplished, hands down. I am very satisfied with the final product. Satisfaction is absolutely guaranteed.
