I’m a 41-year-old adventure athlete, guide, and writer, and live in Boulder, Colo. with my wife Amanda and two feline fur children, Esmerelda and Luxor.

As a twenty-something I was a prolific long-distance thru-hiker. My most notable trips were the:

  • Alaska-Yukon Expedition (6 months, 4,700 miles),
  • Great Western Loop (7 months, 6,875 miles), and the
  • Sea-to-Sea Route (11 months, 7,775 miles).

Before and between these trips, I completed a number of smaller ones, including the Appalachian Trail, Colorado Trail, John Muir Trail, and Hayduke Trail.
