Living an enigmatic life...
I'm certainly not who people think I am. I always do whatever I want to do, and my designs are personal to me... its simple, its childish, its wanting something and the journey of getting and creating it! Live for yourself, answer to nobody.

The Sun Comes Up at the Grand Canyon -
The Sun Comes Up at the Grand Canyon -
The sun is coming up, It’s 9 degrees, I'm on my 20th kick, trying to turn over my bike when bam, it backfires and starts! It’s the 4th day of this adventure. I'm at the Grand Canyon. A tingling feeling travels through me; I’ve let go and I’m present in the moment. I’m overtaken by the size and the colors of the landscape... how crazy beautiful the natural world is. The creative journey is at full speed; I have escaped all the noise and I’m free. Few words properly describe the magnitude of the Grand Canyon, it is magnificent. A feeling of how small I am is blaring all
around me. A mile-deep gorge brings a beautiful perspective of what rugged and enduring mean. The sight is powerful, the feeling it gives me is powerful. The color, the depth, the textures you see, are so impactful you feel them.
the wild world of global trade.
I love the port!
Our world is so large while so small.
Our wild world is so connected... ties in every town.
Black Bear Brand, Ties In Every Town.
Direct to consumer... world wide.

The United States first became a carnival of signs around the end of the 19th century, when advertising took hold like never before. Back then, there were no rules about signs–where or how big they could be, or how much valuable wall space they were allowed to take up. Commercial buildings, barns, depots, grain silos: any place people gathered or traveled past was fair game!
Sultan, Wash. played an important role in the building of the Burlington Northern Railroad. During the railroad construction Sultan was a key supply station and then grew into prosperous logging town.
I love it. It is harsh, there's still an essence of no regrets; it's rough, and has a natural disposition. Wild history, freedom, adventure and untethered harshness. Freedom... That's what it's all about.
Black Bear Brand is a way of life; a journey of deigning and creating items that are the enigmatic collision of rugged and refined. A continuous season; no beginning, no end, but always inspired by living, dreaming, a genuine participation in the adventure of life.

My restless, roaming spirit was taking over once again.... It’s time for another adventure. I want to give in to this inescapable draw towards the west. The romance, anarchy, and chaotic violence of the wild west... is what I seek. Here’s a peek into the adventure across the west. IWC Journal

Best thing I can do is go, experience life and live my dream…
All men dream, but not equally. Those who dream by night in the dusty recesses of their minds, wake in the day to find that it was vanity: but the dreamers of the day are dangerous men, for they may act on their dreams with open eyes, to make them possible.

The kinship between Black Bear Brand and The Last Knife Fighter is rooted in many of our philosophies and approaches towards life. Buddy get my knife was the song that brought us together.

The American West, where a ghost of the wild west is still alive. It is raw, untamed, and vast; I love it, I feel free; it is magnificent.
I've ditched my helmet a couple hundred miles earlier in Montana. I'm riding into Wyoming through Yellowstone National park. Its summer, nature is alive, the colors, the smells... my senses are going wild, everything is intensified. I'm alive.
I'll be at a friends ranch in Moran, Wyoming.... soon.
