Hi, I’m Nick. I’m a former thru-hiker, trail guide, and the creator of Pack & Soul, a documentary series about my 2,193-mile journey on the Appalachian Trail. I’ve led backcountry programs for teens, guided first-time hikers, and helped solo travelers find the confidence to get out there—whether it’s their first overnight or a multi-week trek. I believe the outdoors is where we become who we are meant to be. Let’s plan something that moves your body, challenges your spirit, and leaves you with stories worth telling.
🧍♂️ Solo Travelers & First-Timers – I’ve been there. I’ll help you break it down, prepare smart, and go confidently.
👨👩👧 Families with Young Kids – I’m a parent, too. Let’s talk kid-friendly trails, safety, and sparking a lifelong love of nature.
🎒 Wilderness Survival & Backpacking Logistics – From gear lists to navigation to trail meals, I’ve got you covered.
🌄 Philosophy & Trail Culture – I bring stories, soul, and a deep respect for what time outside can teach us.
