ABOUT ME

I'm an avid hiker and ultra distance runner. I completed the AT (2015), PCT (2018), and the western half of the PNT (2018). I'm fairly laid back and get along with most anybody, but have a special connection with those that enjoy movement outdoors. Currently seeking to relocate to the Portland area. 100% drug and alcohol free.

PHILOSOPHY

live directly, move, explore.

Teach, Learn, Share

I'm an ultralight backpacker with many miles of hiking under my belt and I can nerd out at length on this topic. As an ultrarunner I've competed for top spots in the East and Midwest, including 50k, 50 mile and 100 mile distances. I've lived in an intentional community for years and have a keen interest in wilderness skills.

What I Can Share with Hosts

Crazy stories, chore assistance, relaxed vibe, tips on running and hiking.
