Chad met brothers Joseph and Jesse through a mutual friend during a hike on Mount Thielson, OR. As they hiked, they exchanged stories and learned that they each shared a history of military experience. They realized they had many things in common—they enjoy mentoring and challenging themselves physically, emotionally and spiritually. It was during this conversation that they realized that God brought them together for a purpose. In February 2022 the group started planning the No Excuses Project.

​

With 36 years of combined military service between the three of them, they make an effective team. Chad and Joseph both served in the special forces and Jesse was a combat engineer and retired as a master sergeant (E8). Joseph and Jesse bring years of military leadership and Chad brings the grit of overcoming adversity to achieve  serving in the U.S. Naval Special Warfare community—against all odds. Together, they have poured their hearts into the program, helping to bring men together and discover their full potential. 

​

Their combined military experience, passion for mentoring and their grit makes them an unstoppable team.
