Michael "Mountain Goat" Falduto

Michael Falduto grew up in the small town of Pequannock, NJ to the two best parents anyone could ask for. He studied mechanical engineering at the University of Delaware and worked as an engineer for nearly four years before quitting his job to hike the 2,189 mile Appalachian Trail. Michael now lives in New Jersey and has another normal engineering job. In his spare time, he likes to read, travel, study Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and, of course, hike. Michael recently completed an ice climb of Mt. Rainier and is setting his sights on even greater challenges.
