Introduction
Welcome to my corner of the world where life’s challenges are explored through the lens of adventure, hiking, and personal growth. I’m on a journey of self-awareness, reflecting on the past while embracing the present as I navigate life after retirement. As a 54-year-old who spent three decades as a high school math teacher and soccer coach, I’ve encountered the highs and lows of life: the joys of accomplishment, the weight of personal trauma, and the beauty that comes with growth.
Through my writing, I’ll share stories from my adventures—both on the trails and in life. Together, we’ll explore what it means to live authentically, adapt to new identities, and embrace the unknown. Whether you’re a fellow adventurer, a lifelong learner, or simply someone seeking inspiration, I invite you to walk this path with me as we navigate the twists and turns of life.
