Wierd s%$t

So this is what happens when you are alone at home, cold and hungry. You whip up crazy concoctions from leftovers, gnocchi, chicken, beef, rice in cumin based soup.
Actually, *slurp, pretty good.

New Orleans bound

I finally received my dispatch information, deploying to provide much needed aid to those ravaged by the tornadoes.

What's missing

His poofy pom-pom-mohawk was shaved down. Watch out we bought our own dog shaver. This dog had 2 hair cuts in 1 week.

Slight changes

2017 is getting a kick start


Team Rubicon is getting a kick start for the year, 4 responses under our belts, 3 current operations and monitoring a few zones more in the east.

Please look at how these communities are affected by the latest disasters, reach out to help either by volunteering yourself or volunteer others (aka voluntold).

Regardless of what party sits in Washington DC, it is up to the locals who are first on the scene to rebuild and regain their communities.

I have been fortunate to fall within the 450 mile radius for 3 major operations in 2016, Nicholas County WV, South Bend IN and Gatlinburg TN. 
No one ever built a wall to divide the states, instead everyone from different corners of this country should up to help each of these towns regain some sense of normalcy and rebuild their lives.

I hope 2017 will be a year for more to serve and regain what was lost - HEART.

Need some motivation?



Fellow Team Rubicon member in the 2016 Tough Mudder. 24hours of obstacles, mud, cold water, drop offs. He is definitely cooler than me.

#HurricaneMatthew update. We have recon teams in:

✔ Georgia
✔ Florida
✔ Virginia
✔ South Carolina

And we are monitoring North Carolina.

Ready for the call for deployment.
Ready for the call to serve again.
My grey shirt is neatly folded in my drawer, ready to head into a travel bag.
I can only hope I do not get the call, that means the disaster is not as bad.
