About the author

As a thru-hiker of the 2,200 mile long Appalachian Trail, Troy completed something only a few thousand others have been able to accomplish. Not only that, but his journey helped raise close to $7,000 for cancer research as he partnered with MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston, Texas. The trials of the trail gave Troy only a slight idea of the struggle his father was experiencing daily with his cancer treatments, but it also gave hope to his father to continue each day.

Troy's aim is to show people that wealth and status are not necessary in changing lives and making the world a better place. The only thing necessary is having a reason and a purpose for doing so. His mission is to show others that anything can be accomplished if we have the proper motivation for attempting change and the grit and tenacity to stick to our goals when challenges present themselves.

A longtime runner and adherent to stoicism, Troy credits his success on the Appalachian Trail and in life to the his friends, family, and the many people around him. Without others, our existence is certainly a sad one, and he hopes everyone finishes this book recognizing the importance of cultivating relationships throughout life.

Update #3 - Keep Sharing, Keep Pre-ordering! Jan. 15, 2021

Everybody,

Thank you again for your support in this endeavor. Please please keep sharing my campaign with everyone you know, and more than anything please pre-order!! To let you in on the stakes, there is a competition between all the live campaigns on Publishizer, and the winner gets free publicity for their book and help with their book launch. I have been at the top of the pack for two weeks now, but I just got passed up by another author. Let's get back to first place! Here is the link to see the current standings. https://publishizer.com/contes...

Please help me get to 500+ pre-orders and get me to first place in the competition! You all are the greatest supporters, and I am humbled by the support I have received. Thank you thank you.


Here I am hiking through the White Mountains of New Hampshire. Like in my current campaign, while hiking through the Whites I thought I wouldn't make it to my goal. I thought I couldn't finish. The rain, wind, and sleet made me think I would not be able to continue, but because of my trail family I was able to make it through even the worst storms. Just like I'll be able to reach over 500 pre-orders and be the top selling book in this competition because of all of you. 


Always,
