Born and raised in Illinois, Tim Riggs is a simple man.
He likes to go fishing and camping. His favorite spot is the campgrounds beneath the Norfork Dam, where both of his parents used to work after they moved to Mountain Home.
A truck driver by trade, Riggs shifts gears as he drives along US-412 West heading towards Harrison, Arkansas.
The delivery truck he’s driving is a loud one. Its engine and overhead AC unit are screaming as Riggs takes the truck through the twists and turns of the Ozark Mountains.
Inside, the truck is covered in a fine layer of dust. It smells like cigarettes and sweat.
