About the Tour

Google Maps with Route on Squarespace

The America Tour 2025 is an inspiring journey across the heart of the United States, designed to illuminate the vast landscape of career opportunities within the technology sector. Starting in North Carolina, this expedition ventures south through Georgia and across to Texas, then heads west through New Mexico, Arizona, and California, traveling along the coast to Oregon and Washington. From there, the journey moves eastward through Montana, Missouri, Tennessee, and finally back to North Carolina.

Accompanied by our loyal Labrador, Echo, and powered by a sustainable, solar-equipped RV, this is more than just a road trip. It’s a mission to connect communities, foster digital literacy, and empower individuals with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in a tech-driven future.

The tour focuses on speaking engagements with high schools, community colleges, community partners, and workforce development organizations. Through these conversations, we aim to bridge the gap between underrepresented regions and the booming tech industry, making technology careers accessible to all.

Join us on the America Tour 2025 as we navigate this incredible route, bringing empowerment, inspiration, and the promise of a brighter future to communities across the nation.
