Welcome back to Wayward Stories! In this week’s show we kind of meander about a bit. Much like my adventures, I just go where the road takes me! This time around we take a look at a recent trend that’s highly detrimental to the natural beauty of the Buffalo River, fake people, and my thoughts as we start to explore the world of van life! I hope you’ll listen in tonight, and feel free to weigh in yourself! I’d love your feedback on several of tonight’s topics!

Welcome back to Wayward Stories! In this week’s show, we take a little side trail from the my usual adventures and live a little of the high life! I recently collaborated on a series of short articles for the 1886 Crescent Hotel & Spa in beautiful Eureka Springs, AR…and tonight’s show is all about my experiences there. From caves to ghosts, train rides to history tours, and some of the best food I’ve enjoyed in a hot minute, the Crescent and Eureka Springs provided an experience I’ll never forget. Tune in tonight to hear all about it, and start planning for *your* next weekend adventure! There’s a little bit of something for everyone…from long hikes to spa days…waiting for you to enjoy.

Welcome back to Wayward Stories!
This week we’re trying on a new pair of boots…we’re bringing back one of our earliest episodes as a “classic”. This episode looks back on a night I spent on the face of Big Bluff overlooking the Buffalo National River, chasing after an elusive Long exposure of the Milky Way. Not only did I get that picture, but also front row seats to a raccoon cage match, a feral hog invasion and lots of other treats courtesy of the Ozark Mountains. This is something I haven’t considered doing before, but its finals week, work has been insane and I simply don’t have the time or brain space to be able to bring you a fresh episode this week. Also, super bonus…you do get a nostalgic peek at the outro clip from the early days…which was a lot of fun. I might just bring it back permanently 🤔

Welcome back to Wayward Stories! After an unexpected dark week due to personal reasons, we’re back with a brand episode. This week we add to our on-going search and rescue series with some fresh tales from the field. As a matter of fact, search and rescue is part of the reason I couldn’t get an episode out last week. Tonight we talk about two different searches we executed recently, talk about joint training opportunities and so much more! Search and Rescue, much like life…is all about teamwork. Listen in to find out all about it!

Welcome back to Wayward Stories!
This week we explore one of, what is in my opinion, Arkansas’ best state parks. Petit Jean State Park offers a literal crap-ton of hiking, an impressive 90 ft waterfall, a beautiful lodge, and some of the best sunrise/sunset views in the entire state. We also talk at length about getting our children engaged and involved with the great outdoors, as well as Petit Jean’s impressive collection of Mississippian-era indigenous rock art.
Tune in tonight to learn all about your next great Arkansas adventure!

This show is my passion project, born of a traumatic set of circumstances that jarred me from a sedentary life and an apocalyptic worldview. With my jarring wake up call came a clean slate...both in my physical world, but also my mental and emotional world. Wayward Stories is my humble attempt to add value to this world through sharing my story...my journey...with the intent of prompting others to take their lives back into their own hands. My goals are simple:
1- Demonstrate to others who have experienced trauma that good CAN exist on the other side of bad...so don't give up.
2- Offer proof-of-concept that an exciting life full of adventure and self-expansion can be had by the everyday Joe like me...with an everyday job, and everyday budget and an everyday life.
