Hello all! My name is Jon (trail name: Repeat). I'm a free thinker/explorer of life. Born and raised in the lovely hills and country roads of West Virginia, I currently live in Tampa, FL with my lovely fiancé Erica and the best daughter ever, Olivia. My 2021 thru hike is my second go around on the Appalachian Trail, the first being in 2018, and I’m excited to share more of this experience with you guys.
