The Story So Far

---

I'm the human behind Ruckus in the Panhandle. 

I built this with the mindset stories whether by photograph or scribbled in a journal should be shared, not gatekept. 

I document the real West:

• Wildlife in places with stories untold - bison carrying the history of the American West, elk bugling in crisp fall air
• Ranch dogs that won't leave your side unless the mud puddle calls to them
• Mountains that remind you how small you are
• Panhandle sunsets 
• Kindness in its' simplest form. 
• 
  

I'm thankful you're here. If you love:

• Wildlife
• Ranch life
• Western honesty
• Dogs that think they're in charge (they are)
• Having courage and being kind.

You'll fit right in. Stick around. It gets western over here in the best ways. 

Every good story has a few characters don't get the credit they deserve. 

Ruckus is the four-legged namesake of RITP. 

An English Springer Spaniel with big opinions, zero concept of personal space, and a firm belief that every outing is a group activity. 

And Sam, an Australian Shepherd that shares the same mindset and values that has caught the brain cell a few times but has a heart bigger than some humans I know. 

Between the two of them, they've logged more miles on highways and backroads, sunrises and sunsets, and unplanned detours than most people ever will. 

Having them beside me in this life has shaped more of this journey than any lens could. 

Ruckus might be the name people recognize - but both of them are stitched into every story this brand tells.
