Hey,
I’m Bryce!
I am an adventurer, writer, & photographer who travels the country in my overland-built Toyota Tundra, and the world on my feet, in pursuit of epic adventures, insane stories, and unfamiliar places.

My Journey
Join me Out There and let’s experience Creation together.
The further we venture Out There, the further we come in understanding ourselves.
As a youth in Charleston, SC, my time drifted from days spent on the water and at the beach to professionally playing video games until life's pressures — a good heartbreak and running fastfood kitchen shifts at 18 — led to an epiphany. Overwhelmed, seeking purpose, and at the suggestion of my eldest sister, I embarked on a solitary journey to the Alps, leaving behind 80hr work weeks and plenty of tears for mountain roads & alpine lakes.
Heading West For Healing
That first taste of solo travel rekindled my long-lost desire to get Out There and set my spirit alight. Returning home, I swapped my indoor confines for the endless horizon, in part motivated by the demand of the friends I found when working at my local surf shop. Their passion for adventure ignited my own.
With blessings from my father to borrow his truck and a novice's naivety, I set my sights on the American West — a place I had only seen in Clint Eastwood’s films. Facing a life in which my father was diagnosed with Stage IV pancreatic cancer, I hit the road for a few months, only to be bombarded once again when my mother called to relay the news that my brother had taken his life as I sat on the side of an interstate in Idaho.
A Night of Revelation
Photography and writing became my only companions, translating the jumbled concepts in my head into something external — in these mediums I found some form of freedom. Upon my return home, I spent weeks in the mountains of Appalachia, culminating in one chilly winter evening in the mountains of Tennessee. Here, I found what I was looking for, or rather, Who had been seeking me.
My path has not been lined with ease but with the gritty reality of a fallen world; loss, tragedy, escape, and ultimately a supreme refuge that can only be found in God. Each expedition, whether it’s in pursuit of the next firing wave in the Outer Banks, a mountain summit in Idaho with 13 friends, or the vast quiet of Lake Pukaki underneath the Southern Alps in New Zealand, has deepened my bond with the Creator who fashioned these landscapes. My journey is etched with challenges, a testament to dreams pursued with limited means and a life lived with a smile despite adversity. Today I seek a path mirroring the one Jesus walked—into the wilderness, into deep contemplation. In this sacred space, I've discovered not only my purpose but also an enduring dialogue with the Divine.
