Chad Kragness—I am excited to be part of the shore support crew again.  I was a member of the 2021 and 2023 Mississippi support crews and ready for the adventure.  I was born and raised in Minnesota and love the great outdoors and all seasons.  I met Scott Miller through my wife Mindy.  She got me hooked on this adventure when we were supporting Scott on some training trips.  I’m a father of 3 boys and have shared many paddling trips to the Boundary Waters Canoe area with them. I am currently working in a school district supporting the technology for the school. I am a US Army veteran and was stationed in Alaska for a couple of years and served in Desert Storm.

I am truly honored to be a part of this record attempt team.  They are a great group of people and I look forward to sharing this adventure.
