I’m a stage IV breast cancer survivor training to climb Mount Kilimanjaro in October as a fundraiser for the Ulman Foundation. This page supports the journey — training, recovery, and building a community around choosing life after cancer.

A year ago, my life was measured in scans, treatments, and uncertainty.

Today, I’m training to climb Mount Kilimanjaro.

I’m a stage IV breast cancer survivor. During treatment, I lived at Ulman House while completing an intense round of proton radiation alongside ongoing chemo. I worked remotely. My wife held everything together at home with a toddler and twins on the way. Survival was the goal. Everything else was noise.

Ulman gave me stability, dignity, and a community when I needed it most.

Now that I’m healthy enough to do something big, I’m choosing to mark this chapter with action.

In October, I’ll attempt to summit Mount Kilimanjaro as a fundraiser for Ulman, and as a personal line in the sand. This climb isn’t about proving toughness. It’s about rebuilding strength, trusting my body again, and showing what life after cancer can look like in real time.

This page is about:

I’ll be documenting the process honestly — the workouts, the setbacks, the mental work, and the logistics of training while still living with cancer in the background. Just real life, moving uphill.
