Join me on my thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, 2,176 miles stretching over 300 mountains from Georgia to Maine. My book, Hiking Through, is filled with both funny and sad stories about this journey and the greater journey we call life.

If you or someone you know has lost a loved one and you wonder why God would allow such sadness in our lives-- this book is for you. If you have ever dreamed of thru-hiking the Appalachian Trail--this book may convince you to sling on a backpack and head off on an incredible journey of discovery. Then again, my story may convince you that it's lunacy to give up a good job to take such a hike. And if you have loved ones, my hope is that this book will make you appreciate them more and never take them for granted. Take it from someone who has lived it--you don't know what you have, until it's gone.
