About Us
Our Name

Robert Frost's poem, The Road Less Traveled, has been a guidepost for our president’s life. In searching for a name to emulate the same concept of staying true to one’s integrity, ethical code and dreams, the lyrics of two songs came to the forefront: Disney’s Just Beyond the Riverbend and Garth Brooks’ The River.

 

Just Beyond the Riverbend parallels Frost’s poem exactly in that it references coming to a fork in the river, then choosing the fork ("path") less traveled. The River speaks to "daring to dance the rapids", while maintaining the Lord as your captain -- supporting our president's beliefs of embracing chances to pursue your dreams while adhering to integrity.

 

The powerful representation and imagery of a river yielded additional reinforcement:


  •   Flow – moving forward and valuing action
  •   Bends – anticipating the unexpected or unknown
  •   Forks – making the right decisions
  •   Rapids – navigating obstacles
  •   No two trips down the same river are ever the same!
