I'm a recording engineer and graphic designer/photographer living in Philadelphia. I started hiking as a kid and exploring abandoned buildings when I was a teenager. This lead to being curious why so many buildings were abandoned and learning their history, the histories of boom towns and the people involved, and generally exploring anything off the beaten path.
