I started the Missouri Bikepacking Facebook Group in May 2022, shortly after my first multi-day bikepacking trip on the Katy Trail.

I am a US Army Reserve Veteran. I deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan.

I met my wife in the Army, and we have two sons that are 7 and 9.

I raced BMX when I was younger, and I sent my BMX bike to Iraq and Afghanistan to get around base.

I feel more comfortable on a mountain bike, but will often hop on my gravel bike when our local trail conditions are poor.

I love creating new routes, exploring new areas, and I am anxious to get more local group rides and events together.
