About Me
I'm a hiker, backpacker, adventurer, weightlifter, writer, movie buff, drinker, buckeye fan, runner, hard rocker, partier, binge eater, reader, football guy, and the biggest Lil Wayne fan you'll ever meet among many other things.
​
I'm from Ottawa, Ohio and am still living there when I'm not traveling around. I graduated from The Ohio State University with a degree in Finance and History. This website will be mainly dedicated to my hiking escapades, but it will feature other parts of me from time to time.
​
I went on my first backpacking trip as a sophomore in college in 2018 in the High Sierra after somewhat accidentally signing up for the trip. I didn't realize it would open me up to a whole new world. After that, I went on three section hikes on the Appalachian Trail over school breaks before tackling the Calendar Year Triple Crown in 2021 after my plans of hiking the PCT in 2020 were cancelled.
​
After thinking I'd be done hiking for a while after the CYTC, I ended up leaving just several months after I got home to take on some more trails in 2022, what I deemed the Infinity Summer.
​
I hiked ~8,300 miles in 2021 and ~4,500 miles in 2022. Most of this website will be based off of those experiences... until I have some more to write about.
