I left the U.S. at 23 and never looked back. 32 years abroad, living debt-free with homes in multiple countries — moving like water between continents. 1,400+ flights, 850 passport stamps, and over 7 years of hotel nights in the world’s greatest cities. My life’s been full — and now a new chapter begins.

This fall, I’m hitting the road: 3 months. 17,000 miles. All 48 lower states.
Travelling in a converted Ram ProMaster van — barbershops, beard-themed events, and on the lookout for America’s bad-ass beards.

The goal? Bring my brand, Tan Santa’s Fine European Beard & Facial Care, back to where it all started — and take a long-overdue look at the country I left long ago..& leave my observations and commentaries along the way.

Van-life, fireside chats, live-streams, Q&As — all through the lens of a life lived globally, freely, and fully.
Real stories, hard truths, and the beauty, grit, and soul that still make America... America.

Follow the journey!
