Jon is a life long outdoors guy that enjoys hiking, biking, canoeing, gardening and a good campfire. I have been to over 120 4K summits. I now take time to enjoy the journey. Working through the 52WAV peaks in a relaxing pace. Every trail brings a new journey and adventure. I have led trips for family, friends and Boy Scouts. I enjoy helping people get to that new peak, enjoy that camping spot or experience a beautiful vista.
