Our family has always been fueled by a passion for exploration, learning, and making memories. With three incredibly driven children charting their unique paths, we found ourselves inspired to preserve the fleeting moments of togetherness and discovery that make our journey so special. That’s why we started our RV Adventure content channel—a digital scrapbook of sorts, where memories come alive and remain accessible for generations.
Shannon, our eldest, is a powerhouse barrel racer and the proud founder of McConkey Barrel Horses. Her grit and love for the sport inspire us every day. Our identical twins are equally remarkable—both nationally ranked collegiate gymnasts pursuing excellence in their sport and academics. Brendan, with a fascination for the skies, is chasing his dreams at Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University, where he’s studying Aeronautical Science Fixed Wing. Dillan, driven by a deep connection to the ocean, is at Texas A&M University pursuing Marine Biology with a minor in Diving Science.
The Joy of the Journey
As a family, we share a love for adventure and discovery. From visiting over 26 National Parks to traveling through 27 states in our RV, every trip becomes a chapter in our story. Our RV is not just a vehicle; it’s a vessel for unforgettable family moments—whether it’s marveling at breathtaking landscapes, troubleshooting an RV repair together, or simply sharing laughter around a campfire.
For us, adventure isn’t confined to the road—it’s a mindset. While our RV has been a faithful companion on countless journeys, it’s not the only way we explore the world. Whether flying across the globe to Europe or Asia, cruising through the turquoise waters of the Caribbean, or simply discovering hidden gems close to home, our family thrives on the thrill of new experiences.
Our decision to embrace adventure wholeheartedly comes from a deeply personal place. After facing the challenge of pancreatic cancer, we were reminded of how precious and fleeting life is. That experience reshaped our perspective, inspiring us to live purposefully and seek joy in every corner of the world.
From marveling at historical landmarks overseas to feeling the salty breeze of an open sea, each adventure becomes part of the tapestry of our lives. These moments remind us that exploration isn’t just about the destination—it’s about embracing life’s endless possibilities and cherishing the journey.
We hope our stories inspire others to make the most of their adventures, whatever form they take. Life is an incredible gift, and we’re determined to savor every moment.
Why We Document It All
The idea behind our channel is simple: to create a digital time capsule that captures our lives as they unfold. We wanted a way for Shannon, Brendan, Dillan, and even future generations of our family to relive these memories. Videos allow us to share not just images, but the sounds, laughter, and lessons of our adventures.
We also realized our journey could help others. On our channel, we share everything from RV repair tips and hacks to home maintenance tricks. Our hope is that our experiences—both the smooth and the challenging—can make someone else’s path a little easier.
Looking Ahead
Our adventures are far from over. As our kids continue to achieve incredible milestones in their personal and professional lives, our channel serves as a reminder of the roots we all share. We’re excited to keep exploring, learning, and documenting every step of the way—so that no matter where life takes us, we’ll always have a piece of “home” to look back on.
