About Me

Oh the places I have been, the things that I have done & happened to me, and the people I know.
Currently, I am obsessed with hiking and fishing. On my days off, or even right before work, you can find me somewhere in the East Tennessee/Carolina/Virginia wilderness. Just give me a trail and map, and I am there. So far, I have been doing mostly day hikes along the Appalchian Trail & in Cherokee/Pisgah National Forests. Usually places with a lot of scenary; waterfalls, creeks, or mountain views. I also just joined up with the Tennessee Eastman Hiking Club, so I am looking forward to hiking & helping out on the AT (Appalachian Trail). I hoping that one day, I will get the chance to hike the whole AT from Georgia to Maine.
Only guy and non-smoker of several girls in the infamous Murfreesboro Smokers Group
