š² Project Reforage
There are no wrong roads
I ditched my Minnesota house to live in my car and explore Rocky Mountain territory, enabling freedom and running businesses on the road. Follow my journey through the systems, struggles, and stories of a nomadic life.
What is Project Reforage?
Project Reforage is a journey to reforge a simpler life while foraging for new experiences. Practically, the name Reforage blends "reforge" (lifestyle rebuild) and "forage" (embracing resourcefulness on the road).
A 2023 Tesla Model Y, named Dragon, is my mobile home. It powers (literally and figuratively š) my adventure, allowing me to explore, create, and run businesses from anywhere. Join me as I navigate this experiment in living with less.

Why?
After years in comfortable setups, I craved a simpler life, one closer to the wild beauty of the Rocky Mountains. I wanted to strip away excess and live with purpose, inspired by Jeff Bezos' regret minimization framework: choosing a path Iād never regret.
Project Reforage is my next step to self-actualize, connect with deep nature, and synthesize a life of freedom over comfort.
