Behind every adventure is a story waiting to be shared.
With a degree in English, Michael has always had an affinity for storytelling. And while he accepts his mediocrity as a storyteller, he idolizes a good story wherever it can be found -- from books to magazines to RUclips -- and often appreciates the style of one's writing more than the actual subject that it conveys.
He picked up his first GoPro a few years ago and decided to finally start documenting the trips that he had been taking for decades. Filming can be a beautiful art form and the perfect complement to words.
From short trips to epic adventures, the trip is just the beginning. It is the personal connections forged, experiences created, and themes realized that impact us long past the trip's end.
So get outside...and tell a story.

Tricking your partner into Trail Running: an accidental Mt. Leconte speed hike
Просмотров 89Месяц назад
Maybe we should have defined "hike" before starting the trip. My partner assumed we would be trail running on this trip to Mt. Leconte. I assumed we'd be walking. This route is one of the best day hikes in the entire Great Smoky Mountains National Park, as the view at Leconte's summit is one of my favorites in the park. (My friend my have crushed me on the climb, but I showed him who was boss o...
Twice Thwarted: Hiking the South Loop of Linville Gorge
Просмотров 3712 месяца назад
Third time's a charm? Maybe. The Grand Loop is a tour through the best (and most rugged) parts of the iconic Linville Gorge. Having failed twice, I return with high hopes of getting it done and in the process am reminded of what keeps bringing me back. Editor's Note: In this video, I incorrectly refer to this hike as the "Grand Loop," which is actually a 40 mile long loop. I apologize for the e...

Immersion Therapy: 12 months of plunges // A VERY unscientific exploration of water therapy
Просмотров 8645 месяцев назад
Why have ice baths and cold water therapy become so popular? Deciding to put the concept to the test, I embarked on a year-long journey that took me around the country, from the Carolinas to Montana, Michigan to Kentucky, Pennsylvania to Utah...and beyond. This was by no means a scientific test. It was a personal exploration into the concept of cold water therapy, something I had to try for mys...
A high peak, an old tree, and a new perspective of time // Hiking Great Basin NP + Wheeler Peak
Просмотров 5248 месяцев назад
Wheeler Peak Nevada's second highest mountain is home to the Bristlecone Pine, a tree that can live for fifty centuries! Hiking Great Basin National Park is an adventure unto itself, but to visit a grove containing the planet's oldest-lived tree species will warp your sense of time forever. I came to summit a peak, but I left with something much more profound...a new perspective of time. 0:00 I...
