I’m a dentist from Salem who trades the clinic chair for a motorcycle seat every chance I get. This is where I keep the temples, trails and terrible road-food decisions worth remembering.

- About Me
A dentist who reads mountains the way he reads molars.
By day, I’m looking into people’s mouths in Salem. Off the clock, I’m usually somewhere with worse cellular signal and better sunsets — chasing the kind of places that don’t show up until you’ve earned the walk in.
This site is my running notebook: the routes, the ruins, the guesthouses worth the detour, and the ones to skip.
