We have some BIG NEWS 🚨
The Dreamboats Documentary has been selected for its world premiere at the Aspen Film Festival 🎞️⛰️💎
We’re beyond excited to start sharing this incredible story with audiences across the country. The premiere is September 20th right in downtown Aspen at the historic ISIS theater.
What started as two guys with a dream to row an ocean, and one with a dream to tell their story, has turned into something really special. Thank you so much to everyone, and especially our sponsors, who have helped us along the way.
Stay tuned - we will be sure to share lots along the journey to get there and during the Film 🎞️ Festival itself, here we gooooo
4,051 miles across the United States on my bicycle complete. 🇺🇸
I’m so grateful for the chance to challenge myself and to experience so much of our country’s stunning landscapes and kind, generous people. I really couldn’t have asked for a better trip. The Lord provided every single day.
What started as a coffee meetup to talk about a dream with @tomwilsonn_ at the beginning of the year unfolded into over 4,000 miles of riding. At the time, I wasn’t sure I’d be able to pull it off in time to start, and telling people that I was doing it felt like I was talking about some distant version of myself that I hadn’t met yet, talking big game hoping I’d grow into it. Then I found myself in Yorktown Virginia, intimidated by just the first hill, but with repetition came growth. We settled into the rhythm of the touring lifestyle and we met incredible people along the way who opened their doors to us and other cyclists achieving the same dream. I am grateful for the posse of guys we ran with from Missouri to Colorado, some of the best memories of the trip.
I’m especially thankful for @humansizehobbit , who rerouted his entire ride to join me after I returned to the trail. I’ve learned so much from him, and I’m proud to call him a close friend.
If there’s something that excites you but scares you at the same time, go for it. Say yes. You never know what’s waiting for you on the other side.
Thank you to everyone who supported me and encouraged me along the way.
On Tuesday next week I’ll be dipping my back tire in the Atlantic Ocean on the beach of Yorktown Virginia and will begin a 4,300 mile bike trip across the United States. I want to use this amazing opportunity to support @lifelinechild and their incredible work in, supporting birth mothers, equipping adoptive families, and placing vulnerable children in loving homes.
It’s something that is very close to my family and is important to me. When I was a kid we were a foster home for newborns, and I married my amazing wife @_jenna_rae_ who had the same heart and now has worked full time in adoption for years.
I hope that you join me in any way, in supporting this cause and ask for prayers during this journey 💙🇺🇸
Grateful beyond words that Dream Boats was selected and shown at @brandstorytelling.tv during Sundance, where it received the Production Award! 🏆
Our executive producers @hparkerwilliams and @benjamintowill (Dream Boat #1 🚣) were there with our partners @freeflyapparel for a packed screening and thoughtful Q+A.
Thank you to the festival and every collaborator who helped bring this story to life and share it with audiences! 🎥
Technical masterpieces racing at a fever pitch - built to race, rebuilt to survive 24 relentless hours.
First Daytona 24 and first time shooting racing, grateful I got to do it with my brother @djisaac_thompson and my dad.

Join us at the Riviera Theater in downtown Charleston at 6:30 PM on Wednesday, November 12 for the premiere of “DreamBoats.”
The film features Charleston locals, restaurant owner Ben Towill and chef Charlie Layton, on their two-month unsupported journey rowing across the Atlantic in an effort to raise funds for the Green Heart Project.
The pair had never rowed a boat before, but with 18 months of training, they were ready to take on the 3,000-mile Talisker Atlantic Challenge. From learning how to navigate 20-foot swells to fighting mental and physical exhaustion, watch as they prepare and take on this arduous expedition.
Through sponsorships and donations, their journey helped raise $150,000 in funds for The Green Heart Project and 2041 Foundation.
Along with the premiere, there will be live music, limited edition hoodies, and a custom beer by our friends over at @estuarybrewingco . You won’t want to miss this. Grab your ticket at the link in bio. 🍻🛶🎬
