I'm just a normal guy with the worst hobby ever. I have one kidney, 3 kids, an amazing wife. I work at a church in Richmond, workout at a crossfit gym in Richmond, and get worked-over by bunch of little kids that I coach in soccer. I bought the domain ruck.beer because it is awesome. I also run a GORUCK training site, Ruck.Training, Ruck.World, a satarical look at GORUCK, and Rucking.com, that focuses solely on the sport of Rucking.
