On October 16, 2024 my dad and I will be riding 400-miles on the Nachez Trace trail. Along with 9 other individuals, we will be hoping to complete this ride in 5 days. As a group we are raising funds for the Navy Seal Museum.


On October 7, 2022, my father began a 400-mile bike trip out of Nashville, TN on the Natchez Trace Trail. 25-miles into this ride he began to feel weak and was forced to pull over. For those of you that know my dad, quitting is never an option. Little did he know nor did he expect this weakness to be the last thing he would feel before having a massive heart attack. He was conscious when the medics put him into the ambulance, but soon after he would go into cardiac arrest and his last memory was saying goodbye to his wife and daughter. My dad was rushed to Vanderbilt hospital and was kept alive by machines for 4 weeks before undergoing a life-threatening double bypass. Fortunately for our family, he was in the hands of some of the best cardiac surgeons in the world. After six weeks in the hospital, my dad was going home to his family and friends. He had cheated death and shocked the medical staff. He was a miracle.

On October 16, 2024 we will be attempting the same bike ride that nearly took his life two years ago.

Memories and experiences are the only thing that you get to take with you when you leave this world. The opportunity to experience this challenge alongside my father is something that will be with me forever.
