I’ve logged thousands of trail miles as a backpacker, including thru-hikes of the Appalachian Trail, Colorado Trail, and Wind River High Route, and a long section of the Pacific Crest Trail. Hiking and writing are my two greatest loves, and I'm fortunate to have a career that combines both passions. It's an absolute privilege to use my writing to help others explore all that Mother Nature has to offer, both through vivid storytelling and actionable advice for aspiring hikers.
