Trail name: Heavy. I am an Army veteran and just recently retired from a government career.
The best advice I received as a young professional was to strive to make my workday merely an 8-hour interruption to the important things in my life. Embracing that advice, I was able to pursue my passions coaching high school basketball and cross-country. I also am a struggling trail and distance runner. I’ve always sought out challenges and adventures throughout my life and look forward to the adventures in retirement.
With the support of my family and friends, I will begin my adventure on the Appalachian Trail in early March 2024.
