RUCK ACROSS TEXAS

1000 MILES. ONE MAN. ONE MISSION.

This October, I’m rucking 1,000 miles across Texas—solo and self-supported  No crew. No van. No shortcuts. Just me, a weighted pack, and 40 days on foot.  I’ll start at sea level in Port Arthur, where the Gulf meets the bayou. From there, I’ll head west—through small towns, open country, and harsh desert. Two-thirds in, I’ll climb Guadalupe Peak, the highest point in Texas. Then continue west through El Paso, ending on top of Mount Cristo Rey, where I’ll lay it all down. Not for glory. For grace.

WHY I'M DOING THIS

Because I know what it’s like to be alive and feel completely disconnected.
From purpose. From people. From yourself.
I’ve been there—addicted, burned out, stuck in chaos.
Numb, but pretending to be fine. Surviving, but not really living.

What nearly broke me wasn’t just the addiction—it was the disconnection.
The hollow feeling of going through the motions without meaning.
Of avoiding pain, avoiding truth, avoiding myself.

And now I see it everywhere.

We’re hyper-connected through screens, but more isolated than ever.
We scroll instead of speak. We consume instead of create.
We chase comfort and wonder why we feel empty.
But I’ve learned the hard way: discomfort is where we come back to life.

This ruck is a response to all of that.
It’s 1,000 miles of stripping everything down.
Just me, the weight on my back, and the road ahead.
A test of the body, mind, spirit, and heart.

It’s not about attention.
It’s about intention—to remember what matters,
to push into adversity instead of running from it,
and to remind anyone watching:

We are built for more.

WHAT YOUR SUPPORT MAKES POSSIBLE

This ruck is solo.
No crew. No support van. No fluff.
Just me, a weighted pack, and 40 days on foot across Texas.

But I’m not just doing this—I’m documenting it.
Because the story matters as much as the miles.

Your support helps bring that story to life and carry this mission forward:

• Gear, food, and essentials to sustain 1,000 miles of unsupported travel
   
• Full documentation—video, photo, and storytelling that captures the heart of the journey
   
• Safety + emergency resources while rucking remote, rugged terrain
   
• Post-production + editing so the message reaches the people who need it most
   

This isn’t about medals.
It’s about meaning.
It’s about showing what’s possible when we stop running from discomfort—and walk straight into it.

Even $1 helps carry the weight.

Together, we’ll prove what we already know deep down:
We are built for more.
