A lifelong love of horsepower, custom builds and the open road is headed to Las Vegas—and we’re bringing our viewers along.

We’re one week away from the 2026 SEMA Show, and I’m excited to share what’s ahead for Dying Breed Television. We’re heading to Las Vegas to bring you a closer look at the automotive world through Wide Open Dreams, our recurring segment celebrating adventure and the passions that keep us moving.
For those who know me through hunting and the outdoors, there’s another side of my life I’ve wanted to bring to our viewers for a long time. I’ve always been an auto enthusiast—in every shape, form or fashion. Performance cars, trucks, Jeeps and custom builds have all been part of that passion.
The red supercharged Z06 Corvette pictured here is a personal favorite. It’s a custom build from the ground up, and it represents exactly what draws me to this world: taking a vision and seeing it become something you can hear, feel and drive.

That’s the excitement we want to bring home from SEMA. The show runs November 3–6 at the Las Vegas Convention Center, bringing together custom vehicles, automotive products and the people behind them. We’ll be looking for remarkable builds, useful innovations and stories worth sharing with you.
I want to look beyond the paint and polished wheels, too. What inspired a build? What went into making it work? What can someone take away and use on their own vehicle? Those are the conversations I’m eager to have.
From performance cars to trucks and Jeeps, the enthusiasm covers plenty of ground.
Wide Open Dreams gives us room to explore those interests as part of Dying Breed Television. Hunting and the outdoors remain part of who we are, and this is an opportunity to share more of the adventures and experiences I’ve always wanted to bring to the show.
We’re excited to get the cameras rolling and take you along. Keep an eye on the website and our social pages for updates as we head to Las Vegas, with SEMA features to follow on Dying Breed Television.
