I am Ray, a dude with too many hobbies.
My goal is to maintain a body that can complete an IRONMAN, hike a tall mountain, and impress my wife. I want to keep that for as long as humanly possible. That’s about it.

Where I started
After college, I moved to Alaska to pursue what I thought was my dream career in engineering. After 5 years of sitting at a desk solving problems on a computer, I didn’t feel as though I was making an impact on the world, at least not to the extent I wanted. I had extravagant mountains and adventures all around me, yet I often felt trapped. I wanted to find something that would allow me to pursue my passions and help others do the same thing.
What I Changed
My wife and I decided that it was time to move and start afresh. As awesome as Alaska can be, we decided that we wanted to pursue other opportunities. We wanted to live in a place where the sun shined more and allowed us to chase our dreams more feasibly.
We bought a converted van, sold all of our stuff in Alaska, quit our jobs, and drove until we found a new spot to call home in East Tennessee.
it hasn’t been easy, and it hasn’t happened as fast as I wanted it to, but we were able to buy raw land, develop it with septic, spring water, and solar power, and move onto our off-grid property.
Where I’m headed
I have big aspirations. Someday, I’m going to hike all 2200 miles of the Appalachian Trail. I’m going to complete an IRONMAN a year, starting this year. I’m going to maintain my weightlifting. I read over 50 books a year, and I’m going to keep doing that. I started my business from 0: no social media whatsoever. I’m going to help as many entrepreneurs like myself as I can.
