I founded Earth Treks as a climbing guide service in 1990. Over the years we guided over 250 international mountaineering expeditions (from Everest and Kilimanjaro to Cotopaxi and Aconcagua) and taught thousands to rock and ice climb. In 1997 we opened our first indoor climbing gym and grew the company into the first national chain of climbing gyms. During my last few years as CEO, we merged with Planet Granite (a west coast chain of climbing gyms) and sold to a private equity firm. When I retired the company had approximately 1,000 employees serving 2,000,000 customers at 11 locations, stretching from coast to coast.
