Hi there! I’m Marcus (that’s me on the right next to my younger brother, Marius). I live in Fayetteville, Georgia (just south of Atlanta) and welcome to my website!
Check out my 2025 Appalachian Trail Distance Hiking Challenge to see the progress of me and a group of friends as we try and hike the total distance of the AT over the calendar year 2025. This averages out to a little more than 6 miles every calendar day.
On January 9, 2027 I will be retiring from my job. My goal is to hike the Appalachian Trail that year. I realize that is going to take a fair amount of training from my current physical condition. I’m documenting my thoughts and progress for that here.
My Uncle Paul who was in the Royal Navy and then a merchant ship Captain lived in New Zealand before he passed away. He sent me some stories from his life which I have on here as well. They are pretty entertaining and not too long of a read.
