DIGITAL NOMAD

After completing my Appalachian Trail thru-hike in 2012 I knew I didn’t want to go back a ‘normal’ life but I also didn’t know how to break out of the rat race. I took a couple of internship jobs, landed at a tech startup, moved into my car, was saving a bunch of money and having lots of adventures but still wanted the freedom of location independence. Over 3 years I taught myself website design and photo and video editing via Google searches and YouTube videos and finally in 2015 I made a call, got my first freelance marketing client, left the tech startup and started traveling and working on the road full-time. Now my office looks different each day from coffee shops, public libraries, breweries, airports, hostels and coworking spaces. All I need is a bit of wifi so I can bill a few hours and keep the adventures going!
