Dirt Detours & Dad Life

Written By Tobias Williams

Hey there, and welcome to Dirt Dad Crew!

My name’s Tobias, and I’m the guy behind the wheel — literally and creatively. I’m a husband, a dad, a digital cinematographer by trade, and someone who’s always chasing the next great adventure off the beaten path.

Born and raised in Colorado Springs, CO, I’ve always had a deep love for the outdoors. After graduating from Full Sail University with a bachelor’s degree in Digital Cinematography, I headed west to Los Angeles, where I met my wife. From there, life took us to El Paso, Texas, where we made the bold decision to sell our home, pack up our life into an off-road travel trailer, and hit the road.

We explored Gunnison, Colorado, roamed around Texas for a few months, and eventually found ourselves settling down in Bend, Oregon — a place that feels like home base for whatever trail lies ahead.

This blog is my way of sharing that journey — the dirt, the detours, the realness of being a dad, and the love of the road less traveled. Whether you’re here for inspiration, connection, or just a glimpse into this wild ride, I’m glad you found your way here.

Stay dirty,
Dirt Dad Crew
