Excited to join the @fastestknowntime team as the Regional Editor for New England! I have been researching, writing about, and involved with Fastest Known Time speed records since 2017 and find them to be one of the purest expressions of endurance athletics. ⠀

It just so happens that my home region is ground zero for some of the most fiercely competitive and premier routes including the Presidential Traverse, Pemigewasset Loop, Long Trail, and Appalachian Trail. ⠀
