Military Life & Adventures

The Man in Uniform

My name is Chris, and my life is defined by two things: Service and Discovery.From the Navy to the Goldfields.

I am currently an active-duty Navy Officer. My career has afforded our family incredible opportunities to see the world, and most recently, it has brought us to the rugged and beautiful landscapes of Australia.

Family prospecting

Gold Fever

Whether we are stationed in the United States or living abroad, one thing remains constant: our family’s love for gold prospecting. For us, prospecting isn't just about the "payday"—it’s about the lessons learned on the creek bank. It’s about teaching my kids, Lucca, Finney, and Livvy, the value of hard work, the thrill of the hunt, and a deep respect for history and nature.

Why We Started ChrisUndertaking?

The Undertaking

We started this journey to share the joy of family-friendly prospecting with the world. We noticed that a lot of gold mining content was either too technical or geared solely toward professional miners. We wanted to create a space for the "Family Prospector."
