Mike “Nomenclature” Aspiras | The Hiker Podcast

Adventure is Out There Podcast

This week I am so excited to talk with hiker, backpacker, & photographer Mike “Nomenclature” Aspiras. Born in California and have been living along the West Coast Mike is serving as a member in the US Coast Guard as an Operations Specialist with main focus on emergency management and search and rescue. Outside of the service, Mike is a volunteer with the National Park at Point Reyes National Seashore patrolling the trails and assisting other backpackers. In addition, Mike is also a graduate student with California State University Long Beach contributing to research in the emergency services field. On the trail, going by “Nomenclature” or “Nomen” for short, Mike is an avid hiker, backpacker, aspiring thru-hiker with some musings and photos of the beautiful landscapes which we recreate on.
