About Us

Welcome to my world!

Hey, I’m François, an outdoor enthusiast with a passion for extreme adventures and a profound desire to become the best of who I am and inspire others to do the same. When I left the military, I really missed the brotherhood. I craved connections with brothers ready for challenges, growth, and some badass adventures in the wild! This is how Man Uncharted was born!

I started Man Uncharted to build a growing brotherhood of fulfilled men committed to building new levels of physical and emotional resourcefulness through challenging wilderness expeditions across the globe.

I’m glad you’re here!

As a kid, I wanted to become an explorer and sail the world to discover and explore new lands (yep, just like Indiana Jones!). But unfortunately, they had no master’s degree for that. Instead, when I was 17, I decided to join the military. My goal was to be part of a special unit. Why? Because they are badasses; they are “real men!” It was challenging, but I was committed. And seven years later, I became a platoon leader in the commando paratroopers (yeah, I did it!).

During my nine years in the military, I developed a thirst for challenges; I trained to always aim high, perform at my best, and make quick decisions with one motto: “never surrender”. I learned what it means to be a high performer and developed a strong sense of leadership, discipline, responsibility, and determination.

I was living a good life and doing well emotionally, physically, and financially, but deep inside, I could hear this voice telling me that there was more out there. So, I followed this burning desire to discover the world and set for a new challenge. I quit my job, sold my stuff, and embarked on a journey of self-discovery and actualization, trying to find the answer to who am I? Why am I here for? What do I really want out of life?

I kept looking for answers while pushing myself physically and mentally from the deep jungle of Papua to the highest peaks of the Himalayas and even the plains of Africa. I was trying to discover my passions and my purpose and how to show up as a true man of character.

My life changed forever after a near-death experience in a double natural disaster that destroyed the city of Palu (Sulawesi, Indonesia) in 2018. I was still alive amongst thousands of people who violently perished. It was a traumatic experience (I published a book about it!) but the start of a new life. That day, I promised myself: “To live every single day of my life to the fullest and inspire others to do the same.”

That traumatic event put me on the path to do what I am doing today.

I am still living a nomadic lifestyle and traveling the world with my wife while doing what I like most: epic extreme adventures and building brotherhoods!
