THE END OF AN ERA
In 2020, in the middle of uncertainty and lockdowns, the four of us stepped out in faith and creativity and started Mountain Top Media.
What began as a simple response to COVID restrictions, helping Ripley High School live stream football games when fans could not be in the stands, turned into something much bigger than we ever imagined.
Over the last five years, MTM grew into photography, graphic design, video production, live sports streaming, audio and visual installs, and more. We logged countless late nights, long weekends, and miles on the road. We gained thousands of followers, but more importantly, we had the privilege of serving the community we love with excellence.
Some moments were loud and electric under Friday night lights. Others were quiet and sacred, including the honor of streaming Mike Ruben’s funeral. Through it all, our prayer was that people would see Christ in how we served.
We are incredibly grateful for the relationships that made this journey special:
Our partnership with the Jackson County School System, especially Athletic Director Steve Lough.
Working alongside Brian Johnson, Jeff Waybright, and Phil Iman from C98 The Bull. These men are true professionals and dear friends.
Victory Church, who believed in us from the very beginning and allowed us to experiment, test new technology, and borrow equipment when we had more vision than resources.
And most of all, our families and friends, who sacrificed time, money, and energy so we could pursue this calling.
Like any real journey, MTM had highs and lows. We learned a lot. We grew. We stretched our creativity. We followed passions God placed in our hearts.
Scripture tells us, “To everything there is a season” (Ecclesiastes 3:1).
As of December 31, 2025, Mountain Top Media has officially come to a close. Not because it failed, but because God is calling us into new seasons, new assignments, and new opportunities.
We leave this chapter grateful, fulfilled, and full of memories we will carry forever.
Thank you, Ripley, for trusting us with your moments. Thank you for letting us tell your stories. Thank you for being part of ours.
