I've hiked thousands of miles across the deserts and mountains of the world. I like to push my limits, whether its big miles on trails or difficult terrain off trail. When I'm not in the wilds, I love to geek out on maps, gear, and hiking skills. My major trail adventures include: Long Trail (LT) | 2018 | SOBO 130 mile Section ||| Continental Divide Trail (CDT) | 2021 | SOBO Thru ||| Nolan's 14 Route (N14) | 2021 | SOBO Thru ||| Pfiffner Traverse | 2022 | SOBO Thru ||| Skurka's Wind River High Route (WRHR) | 2023 | NOBO Thru ||| Haute Route Pyrenees (HRP) | 2024 | EABO Thru ||| Tour du Mont Blanc (TMB) | 2024 | CW Thru ||| Walker's Haute Route (WHR) | 2024 | EABO Thru ||| and a few thousand miles of unnamed routes and adventures in between.
