I'm a professional drummer and designer turned hiker trash thru-writer. I enjoy writing long-form, entertaining trip reports that give future hikers insight into trail conditions while also telling a compelling story that shows what short-form media doesn't. My wife and I are section hiking the Pinhoti Trail over long weekends and week-long breaks from work in preparation for our 2026 AT thru-hike. May your trails be soft on your feet, your hills not steep, and your water sources be clear.
