Hello! I am a semi-retired construction professional and a thru hiker wannabe. Way back in 1977 at the age of 19, I took a term off from college to hike the PCT. Life got in the way of doing another big hike until 2017 when I retired and did a NOBO on the AT. Since then, I have also done the CT and TRT. In 2022 I changed things up and did a bike tour, pedaling from Yorktown, VA to Astoria, OR. In 2023, I'll be doing the AZT, starting in mid-March.
