Hello, My name is Justin Allen.
 |
| Forgive the clutter... |
My life has been a bit of a roller coaster over the past 15 years, and I've gotten to the point where people who don't even know me think I have a story that needs told.
To make a long story short (Too late) I am a 42 year old who has gone through 4 knee replacements in the past 3 years.
 |
| This is the third replacement on my left leg. I have a 240 mm titanium extension going down my leg... lovely I also weighed 482.2 pounds on March 3rd 2014  Through a lot of hard work and determination, I now weigh around 225 pounds.  I am co-host of an amazing podcast call "The Comic Book Bears Podcast"! |

| I also made the decision, to leave my family, friends, and furbabies to hike the Appalachian Trail come March 2016. |
This decision has been on my mind for many years. In 1998-99 my life was
heading down a different path. I was working for the Boy Scouts of
America. I had completed the Voyageur training, and had other NCS
certifications under my belt. I had plans on starting my own trek guide
service. A series of personal relationship choices led me down a
completely different path.
One thing to note here. Out of every single thing I have ever done, I only
regret one thing. That was to smoke cigarettes for 15 years. Everything
else I've learned from.
I have a few businesses and organizations that will be helping me along
the way, and that I want to help as well. Some have helped me through
some very dark times, and others have given my life purpose when I've
needed it.
Over the next few months I hope you'll get to learn a little about me and
a little about yourself. Please bear with me while I figure out the mobile version
of this. Some posts may not be the prettiest. LOL
