The Story of Stag & Stow
Stag & Stow is more than a lifestyle brand—it’s a reflection of grit, resilience, and purposeful exploration. The stag represents strength, courage, and the will to stand tall in the face of adversity. The stow symbolizes the journey—the gear, the stories, and the lessons we carry with us. Together, they form a name that captures the essence of living with intention and embracing every road ahead.

From Service to Storytelling
I founded Stag & Stow after two decades of military service, years spent leading, learning, and living in some of the world’s most challenging environments. My deployments—whether rolling through desert roads in convoy or walking the narrow alleys of cities half a world away—taught me that life is not about standing still. Every mission, every mile, and every scar has a story behind it.

Those experiences shaped me. They taught me that adventure isn’t just about travel—it’s about connection, resilience, and the courage to live with purpose. Stag & Stow is my way of carrying those lessons forward into civilian life, sharing not only reviews or recommendations, but the spirit of exploration that connects us all.
Our Mission
To inspire people to sharpen their craft, walk the adventurous road, and live with intention. Whether through food, travel, gear, or stories, we bring authentic experiences and trusted insights that equip you for the journey.
Our Vision
We see Stag & Stow as more than a platform—it’s a community. A place where people come together not just to learn about where to eat, what to try, or which gear to trust, but to be reminded that life is about the road we walk and the connections we make along the way.
Words for the Road Ahead
This isn’t just my journey—it’s ours. Stag & Stow is about standing tall, embracing the hard road, and finding joy in the miles, the moments, and even the scars. Together, we’ll explore, we’ll learn, and we’ll build stories worth sharing.
