I started the website, Hiker to Hiker, after being active in outdoor groups for many years. I am an avid hiker, an active member of the Carolina Mountain Club (CMC) and a life member of the Appalachian Trail Conservancy. I have hiked the whole Appalachian Trail and completed the South Beyond 6000, all the 6,000 foot mountains in the Southern Appalachians. I am now working on the Smokies 900, all the trails in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.

I have led day hikes, week-end trips, and long vacation trips for the Appalachian Mountain Club. These include excursions to the Smokies, Shenandoah National Park in Virginia, Mt. Greylock in Massachussetts and several trips to Colorado and the Canadian Rockies. I have hiked internationally, including Europe, Australia and New Zealand. I was a college professor for many years before I switched careers.

Now when I'm not hiking, I write about the outdoors. My book, Hiking the Carolina Mountains was published in April 2007. Now I'm finishing up a new guide, Hiking North Carolina's Mountain Heritage. Look at my blog and see what you think!

I have a slide show on hiking the Carolina Mountains, which I can customize for your group. You can contact me directly:
