Currently sharing Secrets of the 63 National Parks. I've also cycled, hiked, and kayaked 10,000+ miles across the United States. Follow along on social media or subscribe to find out what you can't miss.
not waiting to live started when I quit my engineering job 4 years out of college to walk across America. Since that time I’ve worn a lot of hats to pay the bills (including selling Mercedes Benz and remodeling homes in Cleveland and Seattle).
Over the last decade my cross county adventures include:
4,392 miles cycled from Virginia to Oregon on the TransAmerica Trail (and up to Seattle)
2,650 miles hiked on the Pacific Crest Trail from the border of Mexico to Canada
2,320 miles kayaked on the Mississippi River from the Source in Lake Itasca, Minnesota to the Gulf
?,??? miles helping a stranger in 13 states (I hope to help one in all 50 one day)
