About the author

Jake McCandless is an award-winning author, nationally recognized speaker, and minister who loves small towns and adventures. Being a life-long resident of small towns and having spent much of his time in places off the beaten path, he decided to share his family's finds from the Show-Me State with the rest of the world, first through his website www.smalltownmo.com and now through Show Me Small-Town Missouri. His love for making moments special was ingrained by his mom and his sense of adventure comes from his dad. Those special moments and adventures have continued with his wife and partner in crime, educator Amanda McCandless, who makes sure to turn each stop into an elementary science lesson, and their daughters, Andrea and Addie, who prefer candy stores and stops with water activities. Their beagle, Charlie, would join them more if he wasn't prone to getting car sick. He is based in Pea Ridge, Arkansas.
