About Me
I'm an avid software developer, and tend to focus my time these days on the brilliant Laravel framework for PHP. I'm a bit of a budding digital artist as well, though I'm not quite where I want to be just yet. In time!
I also enjoy mountain biking, hiking, and generally any sort of outdoor adventure!
To date, I’ve completed 1400 miles of the Appalachian trail and hope to complete all of the sections between Georgia and Maine someday. I’ve also hiked:
- The 272 mile Long Trail in Vermont, a National Scenic Trail. Climbed all 48 of the 4000 footers in New Hampshire’s White Mountains (including a round during calendar winter).
- Climbed all 48 of the 4000 footers in New Hampshire’s White Mountains (including a round during calendar winter).
- Finished climbing the Trailwrights 72, an even longer and harder list of White Mountain 4000 footers.
- Hiked over 1100 miles of the 1440 mile White Mountain National Forest trail system.
- Completed two coast-to-coast backpacking trips across the Scottish highlands, in the 2010 and 2013 TGO Challenges.
While I love backpacking, I am also a compulsive day hiker, peak bagger, and bushwhacker. I’m up for any kind of hiking and think it’s a great way to get outside, give yourself a break from your worldly troubles, and get some natural exercise.
