Hi! I'm James.

You might know me as the guy who lifts weights in cool places across the country — part-time van dweller, proud cat dad, Pokémon nerd, and avid fisherman. My goal has always been simple: stay active and see the world.

It started in 2022 with a Honda Civic, a set of weights, and no real plan. I drove, explored, and eventually found myself living out of a van. Most of those miles were solo — and they were incredible. But somewhere along the way, I noticed something was missing.

We need people. Real connection, shared experiences, someone to laugh with at the end of a long day. Solo travel taught me a lot about myself, but it also showed me that the best moments are better when they're shared.

That's why I started hosting group trips—to bring like-minded people together in incredible places and see what happens. The kind of trips where strangers become friends, comfort zones get stretched, and you come home with stories you'll tell for years.

I've had people tell me "this is literally the coolest experience I've ever had" and "thank you for bringing us all together." That's my why. That's what keeps me planning the next one.
