As our team departs , we are humbled by the strength and graciousness of the people we’ve had the privilege to serve alongside these past days.

What we’ll carry home isn’t just the work, it’s the resilience we witnessed in every community that welcomed us.

To the people of Venezuela: thank you. We wish you the best as you rebuild and recover.

Grateful to our partners at U.S. Department of State and the US, international and local teams who stood shoulder to shoulder with us throughout this mission.

Sometimes a little creativity will help get you over the edge of everyday life. Not a sermon just a thought.

Had the privilege to work alongside this great group of instructors for a week in the Florida Keys. This edition of Down Range Rescue was a great success. Great venues, newly released or upcoming equipment, international vendors, great sponsors and students from near and far. Be on the lookout for the next courses, coming soon!
