Professor

I'm a college professor and lifetime AT section hiker. I host the Green Tunnel podcast, a show devoted to the history of the Appalachian Trail. I've recently finished a book on the 300-mile section of the AT in Southwestern Virginia that was abandoned in 1952. And for the past 20 years I've been teaching at George Mason University in Virginia.
