My good friend and kayaking legend, Eric Jackson now has yet another addition to an already impressive list of accomplishments - Spokesman for Budweiser American Ale. The ad shown above, running in the December issue of National Geographic Adventure, features an image I shot late last winter while in Tennessee with Eric and Clay Wright. Anheuser-Busch could not have picked a better person to fill this role. When I first met Eric, right away I thought, here's a man who has both a successful, busy life and a happy family. How does he do it? He's even busier than I am and pulled in more directions because he has a family. He has really confirmed that you can find balance. For Eric, it's all in synch somehow. I hope someday I get it figured out as well as he has, because, honestly, that's as good as it gets.
I'm very excited to be heading back to Rock Island, TN later this week to shoot another project with Eric and company. Always great to spend time on the Jackson Ranch!
