Our 'why' for starting RedState Tumblers is rooted in a simple, yet profound family mission: to support and relish the outdoors together. Our guiding principle, 'disconnect in order to connect,' captures the essence of our most valuable family time. It's in the tranquility of nature that we've watched our children grow, learning life's most precious lessons through hunting, fishing, camping, and shooting. These experiences have given us our most cherished memories – moments of pure connection, free from the constant 'on' of today's stressful world.

Our children are growing up in an 'always-connected' society, and stepping into nature provides a much-needed grounding, rekindling the bonds with what truly matters – family, values, and the world around us. As a father of four boys, I've seen firsthand how the outdoors molds character and instills values such as independence, preparedness, respect for the environment, and the importance of real relationships. They've learned that life's rewards don't come from instant gratification but through effort, planning, and dedication. The hard work of the off-season pays dividends in the season's success, a lesson that translates far beyond the outdoors.

But more than anything, they've learned the value of relationships. We don't own any land for hunting, nor do we lease any. We don't own a lake house or a boat. Because of this, they have learned that building and maintaining relationships provides the key to opening doors to experiences they might otherwise not have had.

RedState is deeply personal. It's more than just a business; it’s a legacy. Our aim is to secure a piece of property that will serve not only my children but also their children and beyond – a sanctuary where they can always find their way back to what’s essential. A place to 'disconnect in order to connect'.
