The Team

Lamar “Mars” Fite

Mars discovered his passion for storytelling during his teenage years, initially through songwriting with his best friend. As time passed, this love for storytelling expanded beyond music, leading him to explore the realms of cameras and production in his later college years. Working alongside Ashley on projects, his love and appreciation for beautiful imagery grew.

In his adult years, Mars immersed himself in the stories of vanlife, collaborating with brands as a social media influencer and touring partner, while documenting the journey through @thefites. Now, he channels that experience into sharing the stories of others.

Ashley Fite

With a degree in broadcast journalism and more than a decade of experience, Ashley excels both in front of and behind the camera. From hosting a college radio show and interviewing bands to serving as the chief editor of an Oklahoma lifestyle magazine, her versatility is evident.

Ashley's true power, however, lies in her exceptional writing abilities. As the driving force behind the Instagram account @thefites, she crafts beautifully written stories of the Fite family travels, capturing the hearts of many along the way.
