I am an endurance hiker and photographer.
I just graduated the University of Southern Maine with a degree in Computer
Science. I am now taking a year off to explore the world around me. I am
currently hiking the hundred highest mountains in New England as well as
the state high points of the United States. I'm documenting these trips
through photography. In my spare time, I study nutrition and fitness. I've been a vegan for six years now, and feel I could not have accomplished my hiking goals any other way. I enjoy learning about world history, particularly German and American history, and I also enjoy studying video game mechanics. I organize events such as movie nights and LAN parties at the computer science lab, and the only thing I love more than sleeping in tents is sleeping in improvised bivouacs! As a Photographer I spend several days a week in the White Mountains of New Hampshire photographing landscape and wildlife. In May and June I took an 8000 mile road trip to Washington State. My photography can be seen at Alexander Peppe Photography on Facebook. My galleries can be seen on my photography page. As a Hiker I am currently exploring the New England 100 Highest. I lead folks (primarily students) to the summits of these peaks to gain experience for larger ventures in the future. Last summer I hiked Mount Mitchell in North Carolina, and this summer I visited the Southern Rockies and the Cascades. I am a certified WAFA and am currently pursuing WFR certification. I am also studying for Maine Guide Certification. My hiking accomplishments can be seen on my hiking projects page and my New England Hundred Highest page. As a Computer Scientist I do web design, primarily for personal reasons. My primary fields of interest are the efficiency of algorithms and video game mechanics. I was the lead developer for the Maine GeoPortal for a year. |
