Whether you want front *row seats to history being made or you just want to watch a man suffer alone for weeks, even months on end on a tiny boat, this is for you.

In December of 2022, I intend to Row across The Atlantic Ocean from Cape Town to Barbados.

In doing so, it will make me the FIRST African Person Of Colour to do so, solo. In addition to this, I aim to break the current World Record for The Furthest Solo Atlantic Row of 5300 Nautical Miles.

There is a staggering lack of Representation and Diversity in The Outdoor and Adventure Space. Where I don't see myself Represented, I choose to be it.

Positive and fair Representation have the power to validate, inspire and empower.

I am a born adventurer, I was put on this planet to do big things. From climbing El Capitan, sailing The Atlantic, traveling to 50 countries and going to war, there was never a Plan B for me.

I need to raise 50kUSD to either buy an Ocean Rowing Boat or have one built.

I was born for this.
