Welcome to my homepage! I like to consider myself a gravitysmith although in all honesty, gravity does more work on me that I do with it. I guess you could say that trying to understand how gravity works is a hobby of mine. Unfortunately it is a hobby for which I have not put much time into. So for now, this site serves mainly as a compilation of my adventures and activities I would like to share. In spirit of the idea however, you can follow the gravitysmith logo on following pages to see how gravity fits
So, who am I? Well, I grew up in the small town of Brooklyn, CT which is on the eastern coast of the United States. By the hectic, fast-paced standards on the east coast, it is a sleepy little area that is rich in history. Although I moved around a bit while growing up, Brooklyn is the place I most call home.
What exciting things have I done? I am perhaps best known for my 5 month and 2,168.0 mile (3,489 km) Appalachian Trail hike from Georgia to Maine. Hiking and getting out to really see nature has been a big part of my life and my time on the Appalachian Trail has altered my perspectives in so many ways. My two week Alaska adventure also proved to be a fun experience.
