Our Story
In the summer of 1983, a month-long cross-country adventure, including a two-week backpacking trek, ignited my lifelong passion for the outdoors. This journey led me to Philmont Scout Ranch, the Boy Scouts’ premier high-adventure camp, nestled in the rugged Sangre de Cristo Range of New Mexico. My time at Philmont was the perfect introduction to the world of exploration, sparking a path that would shape my future.
After earning the rank of Eagle Scout, my journey continued with a 30-year military career, where I had the privilege of serving in numerous assignments and operational roles around the world. These experiences, filled with challenges, hardships, and purpose, have deeply influenced my perspective and connection to the world.
Now, after decades of adventure, I’m ready to share the lessons I’ve learned and give back to the community of fellow explorers and weekend adventurers.
Embrace the Richness of Life
At Navigate to Your Adventure, we believe that the outdoors is a place to connect with family, friends, and loved ones, creating memories that last a lifetime. Our mission is to inspire others to explore the world around them. While not everyone has the luxury of taking a year off to hike legendary trails or embark on long overland expeditions, adventure is always within reach. Sometimes, it’s as simple as stepping outside in the morning to find a quiet spot to breathe or squeezing in a few miles on a winding singletrack after work. These moments, though brief, can be just as transformative, offering an escape from the daily grind and a chance to reconnect with the peace and beauty of nature.

Whether it’s a weekend hike or a quick ride on a nearby bike trail, the adventure we seek is often closer and simpler than we realize. Let’s explore together and make every moment count.
Volunteering
As an Eagle Scout and Arrowman in the Boy Scouts of America, I learned the values of "doing a good turn daily" and "cheerful service" early on. These principles were further reinforced throughout my military career, where the Army’s focus on selfless service was built on the foundations of Scouting. Today, I continue to volunteer locally, working on projects that preserve public parks and create recreational opportunities for all outdoor enthusiasts. Giving back remains a core part of who I am, and I’m proud to contribute to the communities that share my love for the outdoors.
