Today we remember what Memorial Day is really about.

This photo was taken with my phone about 6 years ago, out on a backroad, in one of those places that makes you slow down for a minute.

It’s not about sales, long weekends, or an extra day off. It’s about the men and women who never made it back home.

The ones who gave everything so the rest of us could live free, drive these old roads, chase sunsets, raise families, and carry on.

Today, we honor them. We remember them. And we don’t take it lightly.

The Road Into Firelight

Some evenings don’t need a long story.

The sky said enough all by itself.

Available on my website as an 8x10 print on 8.5x11 professional luster paper. If you’d like to discuss bigger prints or other media, send me a message.

Come ride along.

It’s not just a brand, it’s a way of life.
Route 66 is turning 100, so naturally I made a sticker because apparently I needed one more reason to emotionally attach myself to roads.

These are the new Oklahoma Backroad Explorer 100 Year Route 66 Commemorative Stickers.

They are 3-inch matte finish stickers with that vintage backroad, old highway, Oklahoma sunset feel. Perfect for water bottles, laptops, coolers, camera cases, toolboxes, notebooks, or anywhere else that needs a little red dirt road energy.

Route 66 has always been more than pavement. It’s small towns, old gas stations, open skies, road trips, stories, and the kind of places you only find when you slow down and look around.

That’s exactly what Oklahoma Backroad Explorer is about too.

These are available now on my website.

Come ride along.

It’s not just a brand, it’s a way of life.
Have you ever seen a 360 sunset?
Chase your dreams, even if nobody else understands why you’re standing in the middle of a dirt road with a camera pointed at the sky.

Not everyone will get it. Some people will think it’s silly. Some people will wonder why you’re out there tired, sweaty, stressed, hopeful, half-caffeinated, and still chasing something that doesn’t always make sense on paper.

But that’s the thing about dreams. They usually don’t look practical at first.

They look like early mornings, late nights, gravel roads, missed sleep, second guessing, and trying again when part of you wants to quit.

So chase what pulls at you. Chase what makes you feel alive. Chase what your heart keeps coming back to, even when the world tells you to be reasonable.

Because sometimes the road that looks crazy to everyone else is the one that finally feels like yours.

Come ride along.

It’s not just a brand, it’s a way of life.

Splitting the Sky

Available on my website as an 8x10 print on 8.5x11 professional luster paper.
“Keepers Of The Land””

Available now at the Metcalfe Museum in Durham, Oklahoma.
Meant to tell y’all this about a month ago.

For the first time ever someone recognized me out in public and said,
“Hey… you’re the sunset guy!”

I kinda froze for a second like…
Hold on… me?

Then I did what any normal person would do… I looked behind me to make sure there wasn’t an actual famous sunset photographer standing back there.

But nope.
They meant me.

Of all the things I thought I might get recognized for in life, I never imagined it would be taking pictures of the sky.

Not gonna lie though… being known as the sunset guy is actually pretty cool.

Could be worse.

I could’ve been recognized as the guy who ran over his own phone with his Jeep… which also happened recently. 😅

Anyway, if you’ve ever liked, shared, or stopped scrolling long enough to enjoy a sunset with me… thank you.

Y’all are the reason that moment even happened.

Love y’all.
New blog…. This one is hard…time to tell the story…

Through the Fire and Onto the Backroads: My Journey
Apr 27
I was ten years old the first time my life changed forever. I didn’t know it then, but that pain in my stomach, the weight loss, the constant fatigue—it all had a name: Crohn’s disease. At the time, I was the youngest patient the doctors had ever seen with it. I spent years on heavy medication—50mg of prednisone, four times a day—which made me gain weight, swell up, and feel even more out of place. It stole my childhood, isolated me from my peers, and made school a battlefield I didn’t want to return to.

Eventually, I didn’t. I started skipping school, pretending to be sick, or crazy, doing anything to escape. I was tired of the pain, the shame, the bullying. My mom tried everything she could. And through it all, she took me to church, almost every Sunday. Even when I didn’t want to go, she’d load us up and make sure we were there. I didn’t realize it at the time, but those quiet moments sitting in a pew, hearing about grace, about second chances — they planted seeds that would one day save my life.

In sixth grade, I moved in with my dad on the farm, where I’d spend mornings feeding cows before school, learning the rhythm of hard work and quiet land.
But by then, something inside me had already started to unravel……
