ABOUT ME

I am a triple-crown thru-hiker with over 20 years of experience planning, hiking, and improving long-distance trails. I am an environmentalist and passionate outdoor enthusiast who believes that long-distance hiking can deepen our relationship with the landscapes and environmental issues that desperately need more advocates.

When we see ourselves as part of nature, we act differently.

By following my curiosity for over 25 years, my interests and passions now culminate in this work to improve the long-distance hiking experience through resource development, community outreach, and hiker engagement, all through the lens of thousands of miles backpacked on trails around the world.
