We are currently seeking donations to help bring this project to life. Your donation will go towards covering the overhead costs of filming/production, equipment, food, travel, and lodging expenses for my team. If there is any donation money left over after overhead costs we’ll be donating the money equally between the organizations we have partnered with. Together we can help amplify veteran voices, support mental and physical health, and contribute to a meaningful cause.

A key component of this initiative involves businesses and individuals donations to help fund this project. Your donation will enhance growth and strengthen the overall impact of the project. Once I begin project, I will post links for the veteran organizations that you can donate to as well. Thank you for your time and consideration!

Overall Idea:
This September, I will embark on a unique journey across Iowa to honor veterans and share their experiences through a documentary-style video series titled Project Course Of Action.

Over 2–3 weeks, I will walk nearly 375 miles from the Missouri River to the Mississippi River, carrying my golf clubs in an American flag golf bag. Along the way, I will stop in five towns to play a round of golf with a local veteran, capturing their stories of service, transition to civilian life, and resilience.

I will be actively involved with capturing the journey myself, along with a small team of videographers and editors. Together, we will document every mile, golf shot, record interviews, and edit the content into a compelling video series. After leaving the 75th Ranger Regiment in 2023, golf became a vital outlet for me—helping me navigate the shift from military to civilian life. It also helped me reconnect with others. This project combines that personal passion with a larger mission: honoring those who served and raising awareness for veteran-focused charities.

Project Course Of Action highlights:
• 375-mile walk across Iowa from the Missouri River to the Mississippi River
• American flag golf bag carried throughout the entire journey
• Over 24,000 feet of elevation gain
• Five filmed rounds of golf with a local veteran sharing their stories of service
• Promote physical and mental wellness for veterans and the community
• Raise awareness and funds for veteran-focused charities
• 2–3 weeks of continuous social media content showcasing every mile, golf shot, and conversation
