About Our Family

✝️ ABOUT OUR FAMILY

Rooted in Faith · Shaped by the Sierra · Redeemed Through the Journey

Our family’s story is one of faith, resilience, and restoration. We were shaped by the mountains, strengthened by the valleys, and carried by God through every season. The Sierra Nevada has always been more than a place to us — it’s where we learned to breathe, to trust, and to walk with purpose.

We believe in honoring those who came before us. We believe in building for the generations ahead. And we believe that every mile — every climb, every descent, every quiet stretch of road — is walked with God’s hand over us.


🏔️ Raised in the Sierra · Grounded in the Outdoors

The mountains taught us how to slow down, how to listen, and how to appreciate the quiet places where God speaks the loudest. From childhood memories in the granite peaks to long drives through the pines, the outdoors shaped our identity and our sense of home.

The Sierra gave us:

  • stillness

  • strength

  • perspective

  • and a deep appreciation for God’s creation

This land is woven into our story.


❤️ A Family Built on Faith, Love, and Resilience

Jeanette wasn’t just part of our family — she was the heart of it. My wife, my companion, my blessing for 29 years.

Her courage, compassion, and steady faith shaped our home in ways that continue to guide us every day.

Her prayers covered our family. Her photography captured the beauty of God’s world. Her love anchored us through every chapter — the joyful ones and the hard ones.

Her legacy is not something we look back on. It’s something we carry forward.

We honor her by living with intention, walking with gratitude, and trusting God in every mile ahead.

🚙 The FJ40 · A Symbol of Restoration

Our 1974 Toyota Land Cruiser FJ40 is more than a rig — it’s a reflection of our journey.

It represents:

  • rebuilding what time tried to take

  • restoring what matters

  • honoring what was passed down

  • and carrying our story into the future

Every bolt, every trail, every sunrise drive is a reminder that God restores — not just vehicles, but hearts, families, and foundations.

🔥 Why We Built Redeemed Rigs

Redeemed Rigs is our testimony. It’s the story of faith in the wilderness, restoration after loss, and the belief that God can redeem every mile of the journey.

It’s a tribute to where we’ve been, who we’ve loved, and who we’re becoming.

We build with purpose. We honor our family. We walk with God. And we carry our story into every trail, every campsite, and every adventure ahead.
