He served four years in the US Army, including a tour in Vietnam with the First Cavalry Division, and since has been actively involved in family, prison, sports and urgent care medicine. His knowledge of the Appalachian Trail comes from spending weekends hiking in the Appalachian Mountains with ‘Tall Guy’, a companion well versed in nature.
