Francis Howell

Hello! I’m Francis G. Howell, Jr., President and Founder of Hiking to Build Hope. I was born in Ogunquit, Maine, an old Maine Coast artist and fishing village on the southern coast of Maine, still thriving with both activities. Please join us on our Facebook business page during 2013. We are a young energetic organization. Our mantra is what we believe — “Be involved in your community.”

Growing up in Maine teaches one the seasons. It helps a person grow. Adventure-seeking has been my long-term life goal. Careers have come and gone in high-tech corporate America. I was educated in Fine Arts and studied abroad in France. These are the tools which have made me thrive to be better and help my community at large. I may be told I am a dreamer. But, for me, I make my dreams into reality.

Hiking is my new venture. It can lead you around the world. Please check out my business page on Facebook . . . proof will make it told. America has 16 trails which have been designated as the National Millennium Trails. I plan to hike all of them. If you are trying to increase your brain power, then this is where you want to go.
