Hi everyone. I live in Jonesborough, a small town in Northeast Tennessee with a nice downtown area and a local brewery. The town lies in the Appalachian Mountains, where there are plenty of opportunities for adventure. If you plan to stay for a few days, I will be happy to take you hiking, swimming, or rock climbing. I am an epidemiologist by training, and currently work for East Tennessee State University as a research director and data analyst for a public health evaluative research project. Before research, I was a professional firefighter and EMT for 10 years. I have mostly hosted people in the past, but look forward to using this for my own travels as well! I have two cats and a decent beard these days, and my hobbies are rock climbing, motorcycling, reading, and going to school for some weird reason. Happy travels and hit me up!
