New Year’s Resolution: Register for Yosemite Summit!

Hey Men! Looking for the best New Year’s Resolution you can make in 2014? Register for Yosemite Summit.

Getting away from work, responsibilities and all forms of electronic communication […]

The Mountains are Calling…

Tweet John Muir said it best years ago… The Mountains are Calling and I Must Go! As I reflect on the upcoming 6th annual Yosemite Summit, I am amazed at all that God has done in my life and in the lives of so many men who have traveled with me to this amazing place over the past five years. […]

Join Me for Yosemite Summit 2013

There are no words that can describe Yosemite Summit. You can read through this site. You can read the reports linked at the top by year and watch the videos on those pages.

2012 Yosemite Summit Report

Every year I say, “This was my favorite Summit to date,” and this year was my favorite again, by far! I made some key changes that I think made it extra special.

Goodbye World

Goodbye World! No worries, this isn’t some final post as I depart to my final destination… just as I head off to Yosemite Summit for a week of 100% complete and total disconnect from work, e-mail, Twitter, Facebook and anything that distracts me from my relationship with God. The 5th Annual Summit is Complete: Meet: Tom, Travis, Alan, Johnny and […]

I Can Hardly Wait

You can tell partly from the lack of posts to this blog! I’m glad the Summit filled up early, as I’ve not even […]

Yosemite Summit 2012 Full; Waiting List Opens

Yosemite Summit 2012 is now full. That doesn’t mean an opening couldn’t open up, occasionally things happen where an attendee can’t come and cancels in the last month – so if you would like to come, I would still recommend you make a deposit and register so that if an opening is freed up last minute due to any changes, […]

2011 Yosemite Summit Report

The fact that I am writing my Yosemite Summit 2011 Report at the end of August that took place in May should tell you exactly WHY I do Yosemite Summit in the first place, though I’ve blogged here about that several times already: Built In Pit Stop Someday is Another Word for Never Is This Your Letter? The Best Thing […]
