My name is Johnny. Husband to my beautiful wife Jessie and father of my two boys Jack and Jayden. We are a family that loves adventure and being outside. My wife and I have always been advocates of fitness and health. Since becoming parents, our vision for raising them to be strong independent men has only become more prevalent as we focus on ways to keep them plugged into nature instead the TV.  I love to play and wrestle with my kids.  They push me as much as I push them.

This platform started as a way for me to connect with other mountain bikers when I lived in Tennessee and to provide content for young/new riders visiting Chattanooga, TN. We had over 100 miles of trail within an hour drive of downtown but very limited resources to know what the trails were like at the time. So I started MTB Trail Rider where I made videos of all the local trails and designed them to be “scouting reports.” It took off well and over time MTB Trail Rider has turned more into everything outdoors and adventure… but mostly sports with two wheels.  We like to have fun, and MTB Trail Rider is what I use to document it all.

Since moving back to Michigan where my wife and I grew up, I am looking more into the motocross side of things as I am minutes away from the world renowned Red Bud Motocross Track and several other off-road trails. I have always been someone who plays every and any sport if I have the opportunity. My attitude is always, let’s figure this out rather than “I’ve never done that before, let me just watch instead.” I know many people who only do what they are already good at… lucky for them they learned those skills when they were younger before they cared about other peoples perception of them and getting embarrassed from learning a new skill. My attitude is who cares what other people think. I’m here to chase adventures and raise my boys to do the same. We are all beginners at some point and I hope to give others the confidence and support to learn something new, regardless of your age. That has always been my attitude in my videos and through my platform.  Some of the activities I enjoy are: mountain biking, golfing, volleyball, spikeball, skimboarding and wakesurfing, slacklining, dirt biking, disc golf, snowboarding, football, hiking… pretty much anything to get me outside and doing something fun.

My goal is to use this platform to entertain, but also to help you along the way to learning a new skill, getting outside, and simply push you to enjoying more thrill in your life.
