It’s release day.

My new album Where I Belong is officially out today.

12 songs about love, home, service, sacrifice, memories, and the people and places that shape us.

I built a page for every song so you can listen wherever you prefer.

Hey @joshuagates, bucket-list pitch: take me on an #ExpeditionUnknown dive. I want to know what it feels like to descend onto a wreck, lost city, or ancient site and see something only a handful of people on Earth have ever seen. I’ll carry the tanks. 🤿

Good Morning and Happy Friday! Sometimes... I just think the dragon is cool. That's it. That's the reason. Have a fun, safe and amazing weekend! #DragonOfTheWeek

The ocean teaches lessons that follow you long after the dive is over. At 60 feet below the surface, you learn to slow down, stay calm, trust your preparation, respect your limits, pay attention to what is happening around you. Which of these 8 diving mindsets resonates with you?

New video: “Below the Chop” An hour offshore from South Padre, five-foot swells had us wondering where the hell we were going

Then 20 to 30 feet down, the Gulf went calm. Texas Clipper. Barracudas. Angelfish. Giant eagle ray
