When I was young, I felt like my family didn't have a lot. I think this is what instilled in me a desire to have more - to do and be more. So I became more resourceful- at times almost to a fault... but we'll get to that later, as there are plenty of good sides to being resourceful- especially when you learn how to do it in alignment with who God created you to be. ​

​

I've always been a bit of a utility man- a jack of all trades. If I couldn't find the kind of weights I felt I needed to become stronger, I made them out of a few gallons of milk replaced with water- imagine what you can do when they're frozen. To this day, when I want to learn something I don't already know, I seek out lessons through YouTube and Chat GPT... podcasts from people like Jordan Peterson, Preston Perry, Joe Rogan, and Dave Ramsey - anywhere it doesn't take much to get access and the people involved actually know what they're talking about. Those who if they don't know, they're smart enough to refer someone who does. This teaches you that if you're willing to do the work, you can find what you need.

​

Finding alternative methods to recover what my family and I need is a strength I stand boldly in -  and if you're here, I'm sure you've somehow found yourself encouraged to do the same.

​

Fairly priced quality housing is a problem all over the world. As I've been a trucker in the civilian and military worlds for over 15 years, I've seen a great deal of homelessness and housing dilemmas but also solutions. My favorite of which, is the

Tiny House Movement.

​

In the winter of 2020, my wife and I sold and donated most of our belongings and while I was deployed, she used our upgraded deployment finances to convert our SUV into a car camper and she traveled the country. When I returned home, we moved our camper to Washington state, where it currently remains, as we hope to someday base out of the Pacific NorthWest. From there, we got on the road with my military-acquired CDL to start saving for our tiny house vision while also living that dream out in the way that was already financially accessible to us.

​

If you're new to the world of trucking, a semi can be easily lived out of with the right tools. Ours comes stock with two bunk beds (one of which we've turned into a storage loft and Bri's art space, and there's space for a TV and my gaming setup, a microwave, refrigerator, and with our electric skillet, and some of our camper kitchen innovation, we built our own collapsible kitchen.

​

Minimalism and off-grid education have been vital keys in paving our path to financial freedom and prosperity. In a country where the "American Dream" is to have a big house, luxury car, and space for a ton of stuff, we've learned through the Nazarite vow and dedication to letting go of the things that don't actually add value to our lives, that our freedom was a gift we were born with. Though it had been stolen from our ancestors, they fought to take it back and it is our duty to join that fight, especially when once we've taken back our fire, nothing but the status quo stands in our way. Achieving freedom is not just important and accessible in the physical realm but also for your mind and soul.

The moment you realize your Spirit is ALREADY FREE, you CAN have holistic freedom regardless of what circumstances and people TRY to dictate to you. 

And not just in the future but RIGHT NOW.

​

Trucking is a skill I was given that I've been able to use to propel my family into our vision of freedom: off-grid full-time travel and a holistically healthy self-sustainable lifestyle. Now, nothing is perfect. Like most people, we have had quite the uphill journey to get as far as we've gotten and we've got a lifetime to go but know this. If you use the gifts that are already in your hands, God can cultivate more than you ever thought you had to begin with. 

​

I am proof.

​

So here's Lesson Number One:

You don't have to be more.

I'm learning that as a child of God, it's guaranteed we already have AND ARE more than we know. And with the Creator of the Universe as our God - our leader, teacher, and friend - we will ALWAYS have access to more than we can ever need.

​

So now that we know, we WALK IN IT.

​

True self-sustainability is not something we have to create for ourselves. It's a gift God birthed within us when He placed us on this abundant earth. If we want it... all we need to do is remember our birthright... and return to the Native Road.

​

So this is where you find me.

Next stop: a tiny house build!

​

Stay tuned to join me on the journey...
