Born in St. Louis, MO and raised in Orlando, FL. I have a natural instinct to explore and wander and I'm a land surveyor by trade. I have spent my adult years venturing further and further from the Florida flat lands. After becoming bored with section hiking the beautiful Florida Trail, I moved to Tacoma, WA in March, 2020 in search for lush green lands and mountain views. I thru hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2016 and the West Highland Way in Scotland in 2018. I have performed trail maintenance and cleanups on various parts of the FT. And repaired 0.3 miles of the AT in the Grayson Highlands, Virginia. My passion is with the outdoors and the community.
