Joined Atlas Obscura in 2013

I am a computer programmer from near Pittsburgh. I have many domestic travel goals: the highest natural points of the 50 US states (37), as many US county highpoints as possible (92), US state capitals (30), Canadian provincial and territorial capitals (4), and Pennsylvania county seats (67 - COMPLETED), finding the strange, unique, and bizarre along the way. Internationally, I haven't been off of North America yet, but I wish to change that soon and do country highpoints as well.
