Tame the Kraken

We’re proud to officially launch the new Row to Recovery website 🌊 www.rowtorecovery.org

This isn’t just a website—it’s the start of something bigger.

Row to Recovery is about using rowing as a pathway to rebuild connection, purpose, and resilience for veterans and their families. What started as a personal journey across oceans has grown into a mission to create real impact—one “Pod” at a time.

Now, you can explore the story, the mission, and how we’re turning challenge into recovery.

👉 Visit the site
👉 Subscribe to stay connected
👉 Share it with someone who needs to see this
👉 Help us grow this community

Every share, every conversation, every connection helps us reach the next veteran who needs a way forward.

This is just the beginning. 🦑

Community Purpose

Who would have thought that 5 years later H would be rowing under that same iconic bridge and into the record books as the youngest person to row the Pacific 🦑

Great weekend up at the while the weather wasn’t great today (Sunday) and while we didn’t finish our race fun was had!!

Handed over the Kraken 🦑 earlier today to her new owners and crew who will be taking on the Pacific 🌊 sad to see her go but know she’s I. Good hands and will continue to positively impact veterans!!

Harrison, you’ve rowed the vast Pacific—and more importantly, you’ve rowed through all the challenges by just being yourself. As Kipling said in *If*:

“If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same...”

You faced every wave with courage and heart, not just crossing an ocean but living your truth. Here’s to your strength, your spirit, and always staying *you*. Proud of you, always! 🌊🚣‍♂️✨

🎬 That’s a wrap! 🌊

We’ve officially wrapped filming for the film documenting our Pacific Row this past summer! Huge thanks to the co-founders of for making the trip to GA for our fireside chat—sharing stories, fellowship, and of course… plenty of bourbon 🥃.

So much more to come—stay tuned for the full journey! 🚣🏻🦑🌊

What he said - over the coming weeks we'll be updating y'all more on the Row to Recovery Program/s and how you can get involved and participate. We are still recovery here back at home in Atlanta, but yes I have been back on the water with the ARC Veterans & Adaptive Programs!! 🐙

When Tim is not living in an ocean rowing boat in the middle of the Pacific, he lives in a house in Atlanta, almost like a normal person! 🏠
•
Whilst in Atlanta, he volunteers at the Atlanta Rowing Club, where he's able to support veterans with disabilities, and provide a unique opportunity to explore adaptive rowing. 🩵
•
And it's this part of Tim's life that inspired the Row To Recovery mission. 💪
•
The physical act of rowing has tangible effects on the body, such as lowering blood pressure, boosting cardiovascular health, and strengthening the whole body and immune system. But also that repetitive process of pulling on the oars, allows the rower to be absolutely focused on the present - not thinking about anything else, other than the timing of the strokes. 🚣‍♂️
•
The program also aims to combine this with the powerful effects of meditation, an activity that can alleviate muscle tension, reduce inflammation, and lower the risk of chronic illnesses, with low-impact exercise that stimulates every muscle in the body, the cardiovascular, respiratory, and metabolic systems. 🧠
•
When you combine these physical and mental aspects, with a man that is both a special forces veteran and a multiple ocean rower...you have something incredibly powerful and therapeutic, to all those that access the service. 🙌
