FATHERHOOD:

A: I love taking the family to places that leave an impression on them and makes them wonder how a destination like this could exist or was created. Creating unforgettable experiences gives people memories that they take with them forever. From the Grand Canyon to Zion National Park, I like places where we can camp and explore, but can still drop into a town to clean up and continue exploring the local culture too.

A: Our founder, Pete put it best in an interview in the 70's when he said that a vehicle is a personal statement we make about ourselves. The statement I make through my vehicle, especially through the lights, is a point of excitement for my kids, friends and communities that I spend time with. When I'm in need at night, lights allow us to explore and go further than we would have without.

A: As a new father, every adventure with my young daughter is an unfiltered experience that reconnects our family with the simple things in life. Whether it’s just watching as she plays in the dirt or seeing something through her eyes as she experiences it for the first time, doing so is a priceless gift. The best part is knowing the adventure of fatherhood is just the beginning. Before long, I’ll be in the passenger seat while Thalia takes the wheel. 

A: There have been times when we’ve loaded everything up for a trip after a long week at work and have suddenly found ourselves under the stars, far from city lights, where we’re suddenly able to enjoy the simplicity of nature. That’s when our little co-pilot usually takes over by flipping a panel switch to light the way with our favorite Gravity Pro6s and FLEX ERA 3s.

A: From my perspective as a dad, I’d say a vehicle-based adventure can be anything from heading out on a long camping trip down the coast to a simple trip to the park down the street. Being a father has taught me that adventure lies around every corner. And having a cool kid who enjoys off-roading and camping as much as I do feels like a dream come true, so I’m holding on to every moment I can!

A: Other dads can probably back me up when I say there’s nothing more difficult than getting your wife and four-year-old all geared up for a camping trip. We almost never leave on time, which means arriving at the trailhead after sunset. That’s where my FE4 and FE3s come in as they light our way. And, as anyone who’s ever set up camp at night knows, off-road lights play a huge part in whether or not doing so is successful; our Cyclone rock lights are my go-to, and they’ve never let me down.
