A month ago I ran the GOAT Rattler 100. My first and definitely not my last 100 mile race. It was life changing and unforgettable. Die with memories not dreams. #mtnops #running #outdoors #mtnopslegend #fitness #runningmotivation #diewithmemoriesnotwithdreams #ogdenrunningcompany #goatrattler100 #chubbies #pitviper #altrarunning #injinjisocks taken in Ogden Running Company by @outdoor_root

First time doing the iconic Speed Goat 50k. It was such an honor to run with so many amazing people and the amount of support and inspiration from the volunteers made me tear up a few times. Such an amazing race and experience. #ontothenext #liferips #diewithmemoriesnotdreams

My first bull. After hunting them for so long It’s hard to believe I finally got one. I couldn’t have done it without my brothers @ryanmprince @tylerlprince @bmcrae89 . It was such a fun hunt and I can’t wait to share the whole story with you on my YouTube channel. Still feeling incredibly grateful for this beautiful creature.

Looks like we’ll be hunting elk this year. Threw a “Hail Mary” and drew deer and elk in Idaho with my bros. It’s going to be a fantastic year. @mtnops #conqueringfebruary @bmcrae89 @tylerlprince @doomdas18

2025 was a year of growth.

Not because everything went right—but because I stopped saying “I can’t” and started choosing “I can.”

For a long time, fear made decisions for me. Fear of failing. Fear of trying. Fear of the what ifs. This year, I pushed back and took a few steps forward—sometimes unsure, sometimes scared, but moving.

I tried things I once told myself I couldn’t. I showed up more consistently. I went a little farther—on the trail, in work, and in sharing my story.

Earlier this year, I watched @benkjar speak at the @mtnops Conquer Summit. He talked about calling your shot—betting on yourself before there’s proof and being brave enough to say it out loud. That stuck with me.

So I did. I called my shot. I told myself “I can.” And I kept going.

• 2x 50k’s
• 1x 100 miler
• 1000 miles ran
• Started my content creation business

I’m proud of what 2025 taught me—not for the milestones, but for the belief built along the way.

If you’re standing at the edge of something hard, uncertain, or uncomfortable, this is your reminder: you can.

2026, I’m ready.
