Friday after work we loaded up the vanagon and headed to Bend from The Dalles, Oregon. It's about a two and half hour drive for us. We believe that every trip needs to start with a good brew, so we stopped in Bend first and had some great beer at Sunriver Brewing. From there we headed to the Desc...

 (A sub zero Morning On Wallowa Lake, December 2016) Last month, a few of my friends and I traveled to Joseph, Oregon and got a cabin in the Wallowas. If you haven’t made it out to this little corner of Oregon, you're really missing out. Nicknamed “The Oregon Alps,” the Wallowas have incredible s...

I've been in photography for a couple years now. I started my work in the wakeboarding industry since my life basically revolved around riding and shooting with my friends every day.

The Chillmono, originally conceived as a limited run, too...

As an avid explorer, I often find myself camped out on BLM or National Forest land where there isn't exactly a dedicated campsite or fire pit, but rather just a space to park and throw up a tent. A campfire is always such a nice way to wind down at the end of the night, but when there is no desig...

The Crater Lake area is most known as a summer destination. Don’t skip out on this area in the winter, though. With a base camp at Union Creek Resort, adventures are accessible all year round. The area offers solitude, cozy cabins, and endless snow to play in. Whether you enjoy snowshoeing, skiin...

As the pandemic raged on, I found myself stuck at home and in need of adventure. After years of thinking about ordering a raft, I decided it was time. Months later it arrived and I was ready to get on the water. I called up my friends Hugh and Doug to set up a trip together. It had been a decade...
