Dr Chris Stout GORUCK Brand Amabssador

Greetings Tribe, I recently was pleasantly surprised to see Jenn Drummond as a GORUCK Brand Ambassador, as I know Jenn well and had her as a guest on my podcast, Living a Life in Full. (A quick note about the show – we’re in our 8th season, ListenNotes ranks us in the top 5% of podcasts, we’re on 65+ Platforms, and we have a 4M+ aggregated audience reach – more samples below.) This spurred me to reach out as I am quite committed to rucking in general, and GORUCK in particular. I’m a member of Tribe in Training and I have your sandbag kit, a ruck and plates, and a vest and plates. I’ve done the Selma 54, OWR, The Murph (2022 and 2025), Ruck for Research (for a different organization), and I’m signed up to ruck the 2025 9/11 Heroes Run for Travis Manion Foundation. I would like to be considered as a GORUCK Ambassador and become a contributing member of the GORUCK Squad. It would be personal honor to join not only Jenn, but also Nick, Lexi, Nick, Cody, Jared, Steph, Bill, and Eric. I truly resonate with your ethos of Challenging Excellence and to Do Right by People in the spirit of making a difference in the lives of others. I have worked to do so throughout my life and career as the founder of a global health 501(c)3 nonprofit (The Center for Global Initiatives, Summits for Others, and Racing to Help Others), serving veterans, active-duty military and their families, and others as Chief Clinical Officer for Prevail Health, and as a Flotilla and Division Staff Officer in the Auxiliary Branch of the US Coast Guard, Flotilla 47-2, District 9WR. Here is a rundown of my bona fides for your consideration (images and content have live links for details). Climbing I have summited 3 of the World’s Seven Summits (thus far), along with Mt. Whitney (the highest peak in the continental United States), Yosemite’s Half Dome, Mt. Rainer, and with my daughter both Inspiration Point in the Grand Teton National Park and Colorado’s Pikes Peak, Mt. Athabasca (Canada), Adam’s Peak (Sri Lanka), numerous other non-expedition walls, and a ton of stair climbs in Chicago. I served as a certified climbing instructor for my local YMCA and built a wall in our basement when our children were little.
