The Val in Real Life team

Hi! We’re Val Weston and J. Brandon, your team at Val in Real Life LLC.

Val has been blogging about her adventures on Val in Real Life for over fifteen years and enjoys creating digital art with her images. Our mutual adventure blog can be found at Propane and Bourbon. Together we also run Sierra Mountain Passes dedicated to travel in the Sierra Nevada mountain range. Our latest project, Southwest Art Towns, is an online community dedicated to art in the southwest.

When we’re not managing our projects and helping clients with theirs, our favorite activities are motorcycling and rehabilitating our yard into a native garden.
