"Peace Rings"

This will certainly be the most boring post you will ever read on my blog. Unfortunately, I need to start somewhere and I figured this was the best way to do it.  My name is Alexander Leonard Peck. I’m 20 years old, born and raised in Edina, Minnesota, a first ring suburb to Minneapolis. I currently attend St. John’s University in Minnesota, about an hour and a half out of the cities, majoring in Business Management and Communications.  I am fortunate enough to be the son of an adventurous airline pilot, therefor I spent a majority of my childhood traveling the world and experiencing an inordinate amount of cultures.

I have been competing in sports my whole life, but wrestling is the sport that stuck with me. After finding childhood and high school success, I decided to continue my career into my college years. After cracking the starting lineup last season, I plan on being the starting 133-pounder this upcoming season. My Dad also introduced me to mountain climbing midway through my high school years and we have been climbing together ever since.  These climbs include Byron Peak in Alaska as well as the most prominent peak in the continental US, Mt. Rainier. With each climb, I develop my skill set and confidence. Next summer we plan on climbing the high elevation volcano Cotopaxi located in Quito, Ecuador. Two summers from now we plan on tackling Mt. McKinley, which is not only the highest peak in the entire United States, but also one of the world’s most sought after climbs. I’m equally excited and terrified.
