Biography

I’ve has been doing road trips his whole life.   I’ve has crossed the country coast-to-coast in his car 7 times.   I have entered 2500 U.S. counties which includes every county in 30 states as a member of The Extra Miler Club (member since 1997), which I am currently the Vice President for. I am also a member of the Road Maps Collectors Association.

I am a Distinguished Toastmaster as well (which means I gives public speeches for fun!) and I’m working on my first book. I also enjoys climbing lighthouses, collecting road maps and road signs, and visiting river headwaters and confluences and of course, documenting his trips through the almost 300,000 pictures on his phones!

Most people don’t know this but my grandfather and I talked about going to Alaska since I was 12… so when I finally got to Alaska – my 50th state – I felt like the moment had been 34 years in the making!   In fact, I’m even wore his shoes walking into Alaska.   I dedicated my journey to the “Last Frontier” to my Pop Pop… we finally made it!!
