PANDEMIC ROAD TRIP

Chelsea and I came up with the crazy idea to live on the road full-time in an RV with our three kids and two dogs, and we couldn’t have picked a weirder time to do it.

Our Maiden Voyage Across America with Three Kids, Two Dogs, IN a 32-Foot Travel Trailer Once upon a time, I managed a thirty-three-acre hemp farm in southern Oregon. It tanked after Covid, and we had to get back to Arkansas and check on our cabin which had been on the market for a year.

ASPEN THE RANGER

It’s a double-header Saturday morning and Aspen is playing with the Pueblo Rangers Soccer Club. It's her last season on the recreational team before making it on the competitive team. Cooper has a co-starring role in this one.

It’s a double-header Saturday morning and Aspen is playing with the Pueblo Rangers Soccer Club. It’s her last season on the recreational team before making it on the competitive team. Cooper has a co-starring role in this one. He makes his debut as a referee for the league. Aspen is clearly tickled to have her big brother out on the pitch with her. https://youtu.be/x3hGzGK8HW0

RETURN TO MONARCH

It’s season two at Monarch Mountain. Cooper’s been in ski school and it’s really beginning to show. I can barely keep up with the kid.

It’s season two at Monarch Mountain. Cooper’s been in ski school and it’s really beginning to show. I can barely keep up with the kid. This is my second season riding after a ten-year hiatus living in Arkansas, and that’s definitely obvious – I think I catch an edge or two at the end: https://youtu.be/FxkLISAoIZo

PORTRAIT PORTFOLIO

I'm stoked to unveil my latest collection of portraits. From candid shots to posed compositions, I strive to tell a story with every photograph. I believe a good portrait captures the essence of a person, their emotions, and their story.

MONTANA RENDEZVOUS

In August I headed up to Missoula, Montana, to see Pearl Jam with a few old friends. We rallied at Jed’s old family cabin on Seeley Lake and everything was peaceful, until the day of the Pearl Jam show.

THE MISADVENTURES OF FORD GRANADA

“Sometimes we need the veil of fiction to protect ourselves from telling the truth.” Welcome to: THE MISADVENTURES OF FORD GRANADA.

It’s time to pivot. After a years-long hiatus from professional writing, or any writing beyond random observations and philosophical quotes in notebooks, I started this website as a blog to chronicle my family’s life in an RV. Life on the road didn’t last long for several reasons, not the least of which was COVID, and once we bought a home in Colorado a few months later, the journey was over and…
