People ask why I built this site why I write these blogs, post about Bigfoot, chase stories that most folks don’t take seriously. But the truth is, this site isn’t about chasing clout or trying to go viral.
This is about Nathan.
And it always will be.
Wildfoot Explores was created to keep his spirit alive.
What started out as just writing quickly turned into something so much more.
This became a way to honor him, to keep the belief burning, and to give his voice a place to live on.
Nathan passed away on April 11, 2023.
But he wasn’t just family he was my brother in belief.
He was a wild soul, a storyteller, someone who lit up every conversation with wonder and curiosity.
He didn’t just talk about the unknown he loved it.
And now, I do this for him.
I’ve never seen Bigfoot with my own eyes, but I’ve had moments
weird, unexplainable things that stopped me cold.
Things nobody’s ever been able to explain.
And that’s what keeps me searching.
Because now, this isn’t just about proving something.
It’s about carrying on a belief that mattered deeply to someone I love.
Not long ago, Nathan’s mom sent me something he made a drawing.
A picture of Bigfoot beside a giant morel mushroom with the words:
“THE SEARCH IS ON.”
She told me, “Nathan always wanted you to have this.”
And when I saw it, I just stood there for a while, letting it hit me.
Because that image?
It says everything.
That’s exactly what I’m doing.
The search is on.
For truth. For connection. For meaning.
For the why behind it all.
He believed in something bigger.
He loved the unknown and everything it hides
and now, that’s become my purpose too.
Through this site, I also teach my kids about perseverance, belief, and legacy.
Nathan and I were raised on legends.
We spent hours talking about Sasquatch, portals, myths, and the unexplained
always asking questions, never needing all the answers.
And now, this site is our campfire.
It’s a place where stories still matter.
Where belief still lives.
Every book I publish, every comment I read, every photo someone shares
it all fuels the fire that Nathan and I lit a long time ago.
And in his honor, a portion of everything sold here books, merch, anything
is donated to the Heart & Stroke Foundation in his name.
So to anyone wondering why I do this…
It’s not for the spotlight.
It’s not for clicks.
It’s for Nathan.
It’s for the mystery.
It’s for the search.
Until we meet again, brother…
I’ll keep walking this trail for both of us.
