Fall will be here before we know it. 🍂

There’s just something about being in the Blue Ridge when the forest turns to gold. It’s one of my favorite times of year to grab the camera and head out with no particular destination in mind.

Where are your favorite places to enjoy the fall colors?

$98.2 million.

That’s how much visitors spent in Warren County in 2025.

But when you dig into the newly released tourism data, the bigger story isn’t the $98.2 million. It’s where that money is being spent—and where it isn’t.

The numbers tell us a lot about where our biggest opportunities may be.

What if the brain doesn’t actually create consciousness?

What if it interacts with it?

We know the brain and consciousness are deeply connected—but there’s still a lot we don’t understand about why we experience being us.

My latest article explores the question without trying to provide the answer. Just something interesting to think about.

🧠 What If Consciousness Doesn’t Come From the Brain?

Some nights you just get lucky.

I captured this from Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park during a rare appearance of the Northern Lights here in Virginia.

I've spent countless hours photographing the Blue Ridge Mountains, but nights like this are a reminder that you can return to the same places over and over again and still experience something completely new.

That's one of the things I love most about photography—and about exploring the places around us. You never really know when an ordinary trip up the mountain is going to turn into something you'll remember forever.

My latest Royal Examiner column talks about some of the misconceptions of economic development.

There seems to be a misconception that when we talk about economic development, we're simply talking about more. More businesses. More buildings. More houses. More tourists. More traffic. More development. That's not what economic development means to me, and it certainly isn't what I've been advoca...

After a lot of thought and many conversations between Pam and me, we've made the decision that we are open to selling Turnmeyers.

This isn't a closing announcement. Turnmeyers is open, we're continuing to operate, and right now it's business as usual.

But after nearly seven years of building Turnmeyers from the ground up, we believe it's time to see if there might be someone out there who would like the opportunity to take what we've built and make it their own.

Turnmeyers has become so much more than a store to us. We've built relationships with thousands of customers, created a strong online and social media presence, developed our own products and brands, and become part of a downtown and community that we genuinely care about.

For the right person—or perhaps a couple or family—there is an opportunity here to step into an established retail business and take it in whatever direction they envision for its next chapter.

We don't know where this will lead. There may be someone interested, and there may not be. We're simply at a point where we feel it's time to open that door and see.

In the meantime, nothing changes for our customers. We're still here. We're still making products, filling orders, bringing in new things and getting ready for the upcoming holiday season.

If you or someone you know might have a serious interest in owning Turnmeyers, please send us a private message. We're happy to have a confidential conversation and share additional information with qualified interested parties.

Pam and I are incredibly proud of what we've built, and if there is someone out there who sees an opportunity in Turnmeyers and wants to write its next chapter, we'd love to talk.

What if the future of a destination website… isn't really a website at all?

AI is changing how people decide where to go, what to do, where to eat and how to spend their time once they arrive.

I think that means destination websites are about to take on an entirely different role.

Not just a digital visitor guide. A digital destination concierge.
