Born and raised in the heart of the Midwest, I balance a career in digital marketing with my love for everything wild and free. When I'm not orchestrating digital campaigns, you'll find me on a trail, usually accompanied by my girlfriend and our adventurous dog, Biscuit.

Now in my mid-30s, I've spent years exploring the vast trails across the country, unearthing awe-inspiring landscapes and secret havens. My passion for hiking began as a personal pastime, but it quickly blossomed into a mission to inspire and equip others to embrace the joy and benefits of outdoor exploration.

Off the trail and away from the office, you can catch me perfecting my campfire recipes, immortalizing nature's beauty through my camera lens, and sharing the latest of Biscuit's antics on the trails. Through this blog, I aim to inspire a love for hiking in others, creating a space where novices and seasoned trailblazers alike can share their experiences and learn from one another.
