Ruck On

2016, what a year….

✅ scored a goal at Madison Square Garden

✅ beat Navy D1 for the first time in Army/Navy hockey rivalry

✅ graduated from USMA and married 💙

✅ graduated from Ordnance BOLC

✅ welcomed Mia into the world 💙

Can’t wait to look back in another 10yrs and remember how awesome 2026 was 🤩💙

Been looking for ways to get more involved in our local community, especially since we’ve really started to put down roots here in northern Colorado.

I’ve got an opportunity to do just that now as the volunteer director of marketing for

Health4Heroes’ mission is to empower veterans and first responders to take command of their health, reduce the impact of service, and increase longevity through community, connection, and education.

I’m looking forward to getting more veterans and first responders to take advantage of their FREE membership, establish more partnerships with local businesses to support the mission and our members, and to encourage volunteers to get involved with our events.

I’m excited to be joining the Your Thoughts Your Reality podcast tomorrow morning at 9:40am MT!

If you can catch it live, would love to see you, otherwise it’ll be available across all the podcast platforms afterward.

For those that are new or don’t know my story, I’ll be getting into the weeds a bit on my transition from the military to civilian life.

Spoilers, it wasn’t super great.

But my struggles led me to some realizations about how transition typically goes for veterans, and I’d like to challenge that narrative.

I’m also excited to share some of the tools and frameworks (such as fitness/hockey, Stoicism, the law of attraction), that have helped me through some of the lowest points of my post-military career.

Can’t wait to get into it tomorrow!

People always ask me nowadays, what do I prefer - skating out or playing goalie?

Honestly, I love both. I just love being able to play hockey, and being able to do both allows me to play more of the game.

I’ve had the distinct privilege to play college hockey as both a player and as a goalie, which I don’t know how many people can say.

And they both still challenge me. I didn’t grow up playing goalie all the time so I’ve got so much more room to develop and grow despite the training I picked up here and there, and some natural athletic ability.

As a player, I grew into a grinder role and neglected my hands. Now since adult league is no-contact, I’ve had to become more reliant on my skill and hockey sense.

Any chance to get on the ice and play makes for a good day, and I’m grateful for it.

What would you rather play?
