Taylor Jackson, Founder

Taylor's initial encounter with rucking occurred during his time at Penn State University, where he participated in the Reserve Officers' Training Corps (ROTC) program. His inaugural rucking experience was at the Lt. Michael Murphy Tough event in State College, Pennsylvania. This experience ignited a passion in Taylor for rucking as a means of fostering mental resilience, enhancing physical fitness, and appreciating the great outdoors.

Following his graduation from chiropractic school, Taylor sought to create a community-focused fitness initiative. This vision led to the establishment of the Buckhead Ruck Club. Launched amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, the club provided an affordable and inclusive environment for individuals of varying fitness levels to come together while adhering to health and safety guidelines.

Since its inception in December 2020, the Buckhead Ruck Club has successfully conducted over 100 rucking workouts across the Metro Atlanta area and has grown to include a diverse membership of over 50 individuals.
