This may come as a surprise, but I’m not some badass Navy Seal or Army Ranger veteran, or a refugee who’s survived a full societal collapse in another part of the world, nor am I the foremost expert on preparedness and survival. Those guys and gals are out there, and while I have the pleasure of knowing a few of them, I’ll be the first to admit… I’m just not one of them. In fact, I’m not really a badass at all, at least not the John Wick or Jason Bourne, Hollywood type we’re all accustomed to.

I am, however, a loving husband and a father. An avid outdoorsman. A friend to many and fellow human to you and your family. A grateful, honorable and honest man that simply put, loves to connect with and support other humans. My purpose in life is ever changing and adapting to the opportunities in front of me, but I stand by one steadfast fact while I’m gifted enough to be here: We are not alone, nor are we ever meant to be. I’m here to continue learning and growing alongside you, and excited to welcome you into the Hive!
