Hiker. Trail runner. Rock climber. Cyclist. SCUBA too. Anything to keep me outdoors. Most of my life I have lived within a short drive of the AT in Virginia while the other part was in Utah skiing and going to school. A thru-hike of the AT has been a dream of mine as long as I can remember. After a near fatal accident on my bicycle this past summer, I realized if I wait any longer I might not ever get on the trail. My love for adventure has led me on many journeys to the top of mountains and places far below. Now its time to take a walk and see where this trail leads me.
