About Me

I was born and raised in East TN, so hiking and the mountains have been a big part of my life since I could walk.  Growing up my parents took me and my sister hiking on Saturdays.  I loved hiking.

As I grew up and went to college, I got my first taste of backpacking and loved it. I can remember many backpacking trips to the Smokies, Mt. Rogers, and Savage Gulf.  Lots of great memories and fun times.

One of my favorite professors in college planted a seed that has continued to grow my interest in the Appalachian Trail.  I've been a member of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy since college and have supported the trail and plan on finding a section to maintain.

I've created this site for family and friends to be able to follow me on my adventures.....
