Hello My Name is Sharkbait: A 2,000-Mile Adventure on the Appalachian Trail - Paperback

Five Months. Five Million Steps. An Odyssey of Grit.

What happens when a stubborn dream meets the relentless spine of the Appalachians?

There are three kinds of people crazy enough to hike the entire Appalachian Trail-young dreamers chasing adventure, older souls seeking one last thrill, and the occasional runaway escaping life's troubles. Then there's a guy who simply loved hiking, and who was naïve enough to think it would be enough. It wasn't.

Follow one hiker's 2,192-mile journey from Georgia to Maine, through blizzards, dehydration, laughter, and doubt. What began as a long-awaited dream became an unforgettable test of spirit, resilience, and the fine line between adventure and insanity.

But it isn't just about surviving the trials of the trail. It's about the unexpected friendships forged along the way, and the evolving bond between a son and father who found their long-standing roles quietly turning inside out.

Told with humor, heart, and blistered honesty, this narrative memoir invites readers to follow along on the dramatic journey. To hopscotch rivers, climb clouded peaks, and endure the relentless drum of rain. But most of all, to rediscover the joy of chasing one's dreams.
