In about two weeks, I will finish taking my last semester of college classes and graduate from Penn State with a journalism degree. I spent a lot of my time in college writing, but not much time maintaining a blog or promoting my work. With that in mind, my next several posts will be pieces I wrote over the last several years.

I’ll begin with an article I wrote about a man I met while hiking the Appalachian Trail. This was originally published in Penn State’s student paper, The Daily Collegian, and was later picked up by the Huffington Post. 

So, without further ado, please let me introduce you to Dan the Walking Man.
