David McNeill

In 2003, Dave McNeill moved to Las Vegas, to begin his Masters work in American History and hopefully meet a showgirl. While at UNLV, Dave helped research and write large historical research projects on Yosemite National Park and Pipe Spring National Monument. In addition, Dave worked as a writer for a sports blog while spending his spare time traveling to the most rugged outdoor destiniations in the West. After finishing his Masters work in December, 2007, Dave began planning a thru-hike of the Appalachian Trail, the legendary footpath running from Georgia to Maine. On the “AT,” Dave met memorable characters, had lively interactions with the local wildlife, and experienced the beauty of the eastern mountains. Today, Dave is a freelance writer in Fort Collins, Colorado, just 15 minutes from the Rocky Mountains. He is still looking for his showgirl.
