Hi! We are a 501(c)(3) US nonprofit entity that teaches minimalist backpacking, guides retreats and adventures, and supports conservation, inclusivity, and education.For the past 10 years, I've spent every moment outside of working my corporate job and being a dad teaching minimalist backpacking. In 2018, I've decided to bring together all my years of experiences as an executive advisor, a product marketer, a management consultant, a facilitator, a product inventor, a brand ambassador, a dad (!) to create this movement. Our goal is to bring fulfillment to all. 1) To help humans reconnect with ourselves, one another, and nature. 2) To direct attention and resources toward wilderness conservation, diversity, and education. 3) To inspire us to apply a minimalist mindset to our lives so to create abundance for all.This work is so meaningful to me. I have not felt this energized and fulfilled about an undertaking for over 14 years. I feel excited and afraid at the same time. I invite you to reach out and reconnect!Happy Trails!

Think of our coaching time together as a wilderness exploration trip. We are going into what we call your “inner wilderness” to uncover your truest nature. My role as a coach is to help you explore and empower you to uncover insights from within you. Your role is to show up, be authentically as you are, and be willing to explore. You won’t come away from every coaching session feeling inspired, relieved, or even comfortable. But you will often come away changed. Typically my coachees come away from our sessions with some of the following things: new insights that they’ll apply immediately, a deep, chewy question to ponder over, or newfound commitment to an action they had previously lacked conviction to do.
