Meet the Speaker.

Originally coming from a background of over ten years in the automotive field. I worked every role beginning as a technician, to parts, to sales and service. I worked myself up to a Service Manager for a Dodge dealership and other opportunities. With my passion for automotive and outdoors, Vanlife was the perfect lifestyle to try my hand at. After renovating our first campervan in 2017 my wife and I hit the road for nearly 2 years. 

This trip was life-changing in more ways than I can tell here, but out of it, and my passion for business I was humbled to be asked to join the VanX team in 2018 by our founder Jason.

Explore VanX is in the business of connecting consumers with the businesses in the community to help consumers #findyouroutside and build the adventure vehicles they desire to follow their dreams. 

Explore VanX has been the largest and most comprehensive resource for businesses in the campervan world since our launch in 2019. Our social media has covered, the growth and changes of the community since 2017 and continues to do so. 

In 2020 when the pandemic hit, I saw an opportunity to continue our mission and take over the role of CEO, and I have not stopped building our business since.

What is Explorevanx.com? Why should you care?

Our directory is a comprehensive list of builders, dealers, rental companies, DIY and aftermarket companies, insurance, and last loan companies that deal with outdoor recreation vehicles. In building this directory we have spoken with and worked with the majority of businesses in the community and have gained valuable knowledge on the do's and don'ts. I am happy to be here to share some of those facts, ideas, and preferences today.
