This mission is personal to me. Iʼve seen what burnout looks like —and Iʼve seen what healing can look like, too. Iʼm a husband, father, doctor, farmer, entrepreneur, and author — but more than anything, Iʼm someone who cares deeply about people. My lifeʼs work has always been about helping others become whole — not just healthy in body, but strong in spirit and mind.

I started the Winners Travel Foundation because I saw something sacred in the selflessness of caregivers. These are people who pour everything they have into others, often with no time to refill their own cup. I wanted to create something that gave back to them — a pause, a breath, a chance to feel seen. Through travel, reflection, and community, we offer caregivers more than just a break. We offer a path to whole health and wellness.

Iʼve been married to my incredible wife, Kelliegh, for 27 years, and we have three amazing kids: Clayton, Coker, and Liza.

Winners Travel is more than a nonprofit. Itʼs a reflection of what I believe life can be: full of meaning, connection, and moments that remind us who we are. Itʼs an honor to walk alongside the caregivers we serve — and to help them rediscover the joy they so freely give to others.
