THE TRAIL

Notes from the trail.

Short notes from the Wasatch mountains near home in Utah, and the miles walked with Kora. No guides, no rankings, just what the trail gives you when you slow down for it.

FIELD NOTES

What lives here.

The comeback is coming

October 6, 2026

I spent an evening looking back through old photos to put a video together, and it’s wild seeing the growth and change in one place.

Some of those old shots are a guy digging a hole and pretending he wasn’t. Two in the morning, talking to himself, feeling like someone else. All the stuff people don’t talk about.

Six years ago I put down the sauce. And this year, right when life turned upside down and losing my little brother rocked my family, Kora walked in and helped strengthen my foundation when I needed it most.

Life is good now. Not perfect, not figured out — good. There’s a line in the song I cut that video to that says you’re not alone. If you’re still in the hole, you’re not. Your comeback is coming.

That’s what the trail is for me now. Not a guide, not a ranking, not a race to a summit. Just miles with Kora, mountain air, and the little moments that matter — the ones that remind you how far you’ve actually come.
