Everything from the Sole Up

I am an island boy at heart who lives and works in a giant sandbox. I love anything outdoor related: camping, hiking, hunting, fishing, rock climbing, you name it. I’m all about work during the week, but on the weekend, it’s the last thing on my mind.

My life summed up in a song or movie title:
“Life is the art of drawing without an eraser.” This is my favorite quote. Up to this point, nothing has turned out quite like I had planned, but have loved the journey to get here.

What it means to be Unbridled:
When you ask me what it is to be unbridled, I would say that the answer you would be looking for is explained specifically in the definition. To be uncontrolled or unconstrained! Here we have the ability to advance and take charge at our own ability. Everyone works with the same level of trust and respect. We have a chance to shine and be a part of a larger picture. This, in turn, creates a family feel and produces a group of higher standards as well as self-motivated ambition.

I am a wife, and a mom to 5 great kids. I love to bake and crossfit (hopefully the crossfitting cancels out the baking!). I love being outdoors. I love raising cows. I love spending time with my husband doing both of those things. I am super thankful for the life I've been given.

My life summed up in a song or movie title:
My life summarized by a song title...probably “Livin' on the Edge”...God's always asking us to entrust our lives to him, taking risks that are calculated and wagered against His goodness. Thankfully, the more we get to know Him, the more we realize, there really is no edge.

What it means to be Unbridled:
To me, being Unbridled means being free to be and become all that God has made me to be, free from cultural, and societal expectations or demands. Free to live in the peace and joy that comes with living by His principles.

What it means to be Unbridled:

Whether I’m chasing birds on the high prairie, calling elk down an alpine ridge or stumbling around a cobble trout stream I embrace the western lifestyle. I’m born and raised Colorado and I love all our beautiful state has to offer. I enjoy surrounding myself with people who have a passion for whatever they do. If you are going to do something, do it well.

Somewhere In the Middle – Cody Jinks
We all have our convictions, we all have our principals and we should stick to them. We also need to take into account those of others with whom we have relationships. I generally find the way we move forward and achieve happiness is “somewhere in the middle.”

What It Means to be Unbridled
To be Unbridled means to do my job and be part of the team. My success relies on Our success and Our success relies on My success. We can’t have one without the other.

About me:
I love barbeque, family, and friends. And I can definitely beat you at cornhole.

"Cast No Stones" by Cody Jinks

What it means to be Unbridled:
To be persistent, headstrong, and unshaken by any challenges or obstacles that may come upon you.

About Me:
I am a Mom, a Wife, and I LOVE my family. We enjoy camping, shooting, being together and belly laughs. I am thankful every day for my kids, their kind hearts, and hard-working spirits. In my free time I enjoy quilting, cross stitching and traveling to see my kids wherever life takes them.

My life summed up in a song or movie title:
The theme song for Rocky 1, "Gonna fly now", it motivates and encourages me; makes me want to kick ass!

What it means to be Unbridled:
To me, unbridled means to be free, to be as good as you can be with the sky as the limit.

I’m a proud wife who went from a mother of one to a mother of three in under two minutes. My perfect day starts with a creamy latte, quiet time with the good Book, and an aviator-sunrise drive. At any given time, I’m resisting the urge to make a list. I’m a total geek about what a place “could be” instead of what it is…which keeps my honey-do list fairly ridiculously long. At the end of the day, rocking my babies and a wink from my husband are the perfect reward for hard work and laser focus.

“It wasn’t that people didn’t try to give her stickers. It’s just that, the stickers didn’t stick.” You Are Special by Max Lucado.

What it means to be Unbridled:
Fearless in purpose with the freedom of knowing who you are and to whom you belong.

My name is Cooper. I’m 22 and I wear the fun socks around here. I may be mildly sarcastic. During my free time I like to go rock climbing, hiking, nap, and watch way too much Netflix.

My life summed up in a song or movie title:
“I’m Good” by The Mowgli’s.

What it means to be Unbridled:
To do the best and be the best you can in everything you do.

“I'd rather be outside,” is the thought usually running through my mind. Being outdoors, especially with my family, is where I'm the happiest whether it's working or playing. I'm married to the love of my life and my best friend. Together we raise our 5 children and attempt to run a few cows.

My life summed up in a song or movie title:
They say love, is more precious than gold,
It can't be bought, and it can't be sold.
Well I got love, a love to spare,
but that make me a millionaire.

Chris LeDoux - “Millionaire”

What it means to be Unbridled:
Being “Unbridled” is embracing who you are created to be and living your life from that perspective.

About Me:
I grew up as a farm kid, so hard work never scared me. I've always been passionate about anything with an engine. If I'm not working, I am home with my other half caring for our variety of animals.

My Life Summed Up in a Song or Movie Title:
Fast and Furious. I have a passion for anything with an engine and I'm big on family.

What it Means to be Unbridled:
To be free; not under someone else's control.

I like to joke that my husband and I have so many kids among us (with another on the way!) we should form our own boy band. They (plus our darling English Bulldog Lulu) certainly keep us busy, hectic, and laughing. We cherish our family time, and love our summers together! Our happiest places include any outdoor concert, Elitches, WaterWorld, lounging by the pool and backyard BBQs.

Crazy Train by Ozzy pops to mind. Or Still Crazy After All These Years by Paul Simon is how I feel about my husband. Clearly the common denominator is crazy...

What it Means to be Unbridled
We have broken the typical business mold. We are given the freedom to care about our communities, our co-workers, our friends, and our families. And we don't just say we care, we show we care, and we show we care in a way that impacts our bottom line. Being Unbridled is taking 20% of our corporate profits and giving back where we can, to people in our lives and communities and to people we've never even met. This is who we are. Doing it any other way would be, well...crazy.

I’m your typical 50-something father, husband, son, brother, business owner, and friend. A paradox, figuring life out as I go. Loving every minute, and learning that if we let go enough, forgive enough, love enough, and be present enough the desires of our heart are right in front of us, just waiting for us to discover them.

My life summed up in a song or movie title:
“Right Here Right Now” by Van Halen says it all. There’s no other place I want to be. It feels good to be alive...right here, right now...watching a generation wake up to their destinies and take their places in the world.

What it means to be Unbridled:
Being “unbridled” means relentlessly pushing the boundaries of our own limiting beliefs; keeping the inherent goodness of people as our central focus; and viewing life as a treasure to be discovered and mined from the inside out. I truly believe that by living “unbridled” in community with others, there is nothing we can’t do.

I like to play. I love time with my kids and family. I don’t like being too serious because life is hard…so let’s have fun as we go! I like things that go fast: cars, dune buggies, motorcycles, toys, toys, toys! Other than fun, my family always comes first.

My life summed up in a song or movie title:
I don’t really have a song or movie title I feel really says, “Gary’s life,” but if I did, it would definitely be a country song. I’ve had a lot of ups and downs…but that won’t stop me! Keep on keepin’ on.

What it means to be Unbridled:
Being Unbridled is to:
1) Be honest to yourself. Everybody makes mistakes. It’s not always easy, but when you’re honest to yourself, it’s easy to be honest to others.
2) Be loyal. Loyalty is a way of thinking, whether it’s with family, friends, or coworkers.
3) Be proud. Have pride in what you do. Always do the best you can and never settle for just good enough.
4) Work hard and play harder!
