Meet Mike
Hey, I’m Mike. I’m a veteran, I run my own automation business, and I snowboard full time while living on the road in an RV with my girlfriend and our two dogs.
I started snowboarding at 31, and now I spend my winters riding powder and tree runs in the backcountry.
Running my own business also means I know what small business owners care about when they buy: does it save me time, does it work, is it worth the money. Veterans want the same thing, straight talk instead of a sales pitch.
If your product fits an active, outdoors, or on-the-go lifestyle, or it’s built for small business owners, I’d love to make content for it. DM or email me to talk about a project.
Cold & Messy Conditions
Sub-zero powder, wet mud, tree runs, and gravel. Real tests that prove what gear actually holds up.
Full-Time RV Life & Dogs
Living on the road with two dogs. Portable gear, pet nutrition, off-grid power, and durable vehicle setups.
Automation & Small Business
I know how entrepreneurs and veterans think: does it save time, does it work, and is it worth the investment.
