There’s something undeniably powerful about waking up in the middle of nowhere. The hum of silence, the first light of sunrise peeking over distant hills—it’s the kind of peace that feels like medicine for the soul. Adventure with Purpose was born from moments like these, reminding me that the healing we find out here is something worth sharing.
For me, that peace didn’t arrive overnight. It came after years of living a fast-paced life rooted in deadlines, meetings, and extreme expectations. I spent over five and a half years launching electric vehicles at Rivian. It was rewarding in many ways, but I felt a growing disconnect between who I was becoming and who I wanted to be. In a leap of faith, I stepped away from my career, packed up my life, and committed to living on the road.
I wasn’t running away from life, I was running toward something deeper. Toward stillness, freedom, and purpose.
Since that moment, I’ve traveled more than 5,000 miles across North America—through remote deserts, dense forests, winding mountain passes, and wide-open plains. And this is only the beginning. With new landscapes calling and countless backroads still to explore, the road ahead feels just as exciting as the miles behind me. But the most important thing I’ve discovered along the way isn’t about distance, destinations, or gear.
It’s this:
Adventure is a privilege. And not everyone has access to it.
That realization became the heartbeat of something bigger—something more meaningful than just sharing where I go or what I see. It sparked a deeper purpose in me: a drive to give back, spread good vibes, and support others out there who are just trying to find a little peace in their own journey.
The Heart Behind Adventure With Purpose
When people see my setup—a sleek blue electric truck paired with a matching teardrop trailer—they often assume I’m living a life of comfort and financial freedom. But the truth is far less glossy: I’m living off savings, without a source of income, investing in a nomadic lifestyle that prioritizes fulfillment over financial security. Every day is a conscious choice to live simply, close to nature, and full of purpose.
And I wouldn’t trade that choice for anything.
Still, I’m aware that even with the sacrifices I’ve made, I’m in a fortunate position. I have reliable shelter, solar power and internet access. I have the ability to move when I need to, and a support network when things get tough. There are so many others chasing a similar life—people who dream of weekend escapes or life on the road—but don’t have the resources or safety net to make it happen.
Some are living in cars, trying to survive the night without heat. Others are grieving a loss, battling anxiety, or simply trying to catch their breath from the chaos of life. A few have never been camping before but know deep down that healing waits for them under a starry sky.
That’s where Adventure with Purpose comes in. This campaign is about bridging that gap. About giving someone a boost, a break, or a moment of beauty when they need it most.
Kickstarting Kindness Every Month
You don’t have to wait until you “make it” to make a difference. That’s the philosophy behind everything we do. We’re not some well-funded foundation with a fancy headquarters. We’re a small nonprofit with a big dream and a lot of heart. So we’re starting small—but starting strong.
Every month, Deuce Roams is committing a minimum of $200 toward random acts of kindness for outdoor lovers in need.
Why $200? Because we’re twice as committed. It’s not about the number—it’s about the intention.
That money might go toward:
- Donating basic camping gear to someone who’s just beginning their journey
- Reserving a peaceful weekend campsite for a family going through a hard time
- Helping a solo traveler restock supplies after a breakdown
- Paying for propane, a warm sleeping bag, or a simple but nourishing meal

At Deuce Roams, we don’t have strict rules or long applications. We keep it flexible, responsive, and human. We listen and we act. Through Adventure with Purpose we give in ways that let people know they’re not alone.
A Nonprofit on the Move
Deuce Roams, Inc. isn’t just a name on paper—it’s a rolling grassroots movement. It was born out of a personal shift but is growing into a mission to touch lives far beyond my own.
Right now, our operation is lean—powered by the open road, an electric truck, a teardrop trailer, and a shared vision energized by purpose and community. But we’re building momentum. We’ve got a roadmap for impact over the next 5 to 10 years, focused on kindness, sustainability, and creating community among nomads, campers, and nature lovers from every background.
We’re planting seeds now that we hope will grow into a network of supercharged kindness across the continent—people helping people experience the outdoors, one trail, one tent, one warm night at a time.
Every mile I travel, every story I hear, and every act of generosity shared by our community brings us closer to that dream.

Why Adventure With Purpose Matters
This isn’t just about handing out supplies. It’s about shifting perspective. It’s about saying: you belong here, too.
Nature has healing power, but it’s not always accessible. For some, the barriers are financial. For others, it’s emotional. But with a little help, the trail opens up. The stars get closer. The peace becomes possible.
Adventure with Purpose isn’t about charity—it’s about community. It’s about remembering that behind every tent or camper is a person with a story. It’s about reminding people that they’re seen, valued, and worthy of joy—even in hard times.
Because when we share adventure, we also share hope.
