Hi, I am AJ. I am a resident of West Virginia, born and raised, and I couldn't be more proud of it. I've lived in the Appalachians all my life and have fallen in love with the people, culture, and landscape of this awesome region of the United States.

A little bit about me, I am married to an absolutely wonderful wife, and we have 2 cats, Cheerio and Blueberry who like to cause a whole lot of trouble for us on a daily basis. I think my favorite thing about West Virginia is the beauty of the outdoors and the culture that surrounds outdoor living.

I have been writing as a hobby on and off for as long as I can remember, but I have never gotten around to publishing or posting anything, and thought that I would give a hand at writing a blog to show my love for my home.

I've been writing as a hobby for years but never published anything. This blog is my way of sharing my love for my home state and exploring the broader Appalachian region. Expect posts about local culture, outdoor adventures, and personal reflections on life in Appalachia.

I hope this blog will not only showcase why I love West Virginia but also help me learn more about what it truly means to be an Appalachian. This page will grow and change along with the blog, so thank you for joining me on this adventure!
