About The Founder

Michael Miller

Born in 1983 in Brownwood, Texas

I’m a former military service member who has always been driven by adventure and a love for the outdoors. My time in the military taught me the value of resilience, teamwork, and pushing limits, and now, through Ruck n' Roll ATX, I aim to bring that same spirit to a civilian setting. With a passion for fitness and camaraderie, I created this group to combine the rugged adventure of backpacking with the brotherhood that defined my military experience. Whether it’s a challenging hike or a laid-back camping trip, this club is about revisiting the glory days and sharing great times with like-minded individuals.

When I’m not hitting the trails, I spend my time staying active in Austin’s vibrant outdoor scene, preparing for new physical challenges, and working on creative projects. Ruck n’ Roll ATX is more than just a club—it’s a way of life that blends my love for the outdoors with the music, culture, and community that make Austin such a unique place. I hope to inspire others to lace up their boots, grab their rucks, and join the adventure.
