A skier, climber, adventurer and photographer, Ace is forever planning, participating in, or returning from, expeditions. His passion for exploring remote mountain ranges is contagious and his travels and assignments have taken him to more than 35 countries and on a dozen Himalayan expeditions. Ace's idea for this expedition came from one of his six trips to the mountains of central Asia. One of the most recognized photographers in the outdoor industry today, his clients include Patagonia, Marmot, Gore & Associates, Malden Mills, Nike and dozens of magazines and catalogs worldwide.
