I have always loved the outdoors, camping has always been one of my greatest passions! Every year my family would go to some new national park or would travel around the world and that’s what really planted the seed. In 2015 I finally purchased my dream truck. She was an all stock 2000 Land Rover Discovery II, very well maintained and was in very good condition. For as long as I can remember I always loved Land Rover and their participation in the coveted Camel Trophy. 2 man teams from around the world with about 15 other trucks driving through seaming impassable jungle terrain, rivers, and some of the wilds locations is what sold it. When you think of Land Rover, you think of adventure and I 100% knew no matter how difficult they are to own, I just had to have one.
It was a YouTube series “Expedition Overland” that really lit the fire of what I really wanted to dive into! Over 2 years I began to modify my truck and plan trips and adventures that would take me all across the USA and the world. Being single, with no kids, and my beautiful Doberman Denali by my side, it would be much easier for me to travel around.
I have been researching various products and brands to expand and explore the many places I go to. I love to do anything from scuba dive, free dive, stand-up paddle boarding, skydive, hiking, backpacking, overlanding(4×4 camping), rock climbing, spelunking (cave diving), adventure motorcycle touring, and much more.
Denali, my wonderful travel buddy is a purebred AKC/CKC Doberman. She absolutely loves being outside, chasing anything that runs, balls, and my drone. American bred she is very shy and extremely loving. She always has to be next to me on or on me wherever we are, truly living up to the breeds nickname as the “velcro dog”. Weighing in at 60-65lbs with no fat on her whatsoever, medium crop ears, and traditional black and tan markings makes for one beautiful pup!
