Operation Contingency

Welcome to Operation Contingency. My journey is unique. I am a retired Air Force veteran of nearly 25 years who spent my career as a war planner in contingency operations.

I love the word contingency. It means so much to me. At its core it means having a backup plan ready before you need it. So why "contingency" for my name? I am glad you asked. Over the years I have led close to 100 overlanding trips for thousands of veterans, and if there is one lesson the trail keeps teaching, it is that you always need a backup plan. Vehicles break. Weather turns. Routes close. The mission adapts. That is contingency, and that is what this channel is built on.

Join me as I share hard earned experience from the field, lessons from the trips that did not go according to plan, and the plans I am building to keep exploring this great country. Whether you are new to overlanding or have your own miles behind you, there is something here for you.
