Raised on a small farm near Vancouver, BC, Canada, I learned early on that hard work, creativity, and determination could overcome even the toughest challenges. Little did I know just how much these principles would shape the course of my adult life.

After graduating high school, I began working in construction and eventually started my own business. Over time, I broadened my horizons, launching an events company that brought concerts to life with artists like Terri Clark and Jason McCoy. I also explored fitness events and even started a modeling agency. However, after many years of constant travel across Canada, the USA, and internationally, the demands of the agency took a toll on me and my family, leading me to sell the business.

In 2007, I married my amazing wife. With a bit of convincing, we embarked on camping and travel adventures together. When our son, Cayden, was born, those adventures grew even more, creating countless cherished memories as a family.

I eventually returned to construction and built a successful company. But when the pandemic hit, unpaid client invoices left me with $250,000 owed, forcing me to close that chapter. Suddenly, I found myself with an unfamiliar abundance of free time, going from 12-14 hour workdays to just a few hours a week. Seeking a way to stay active and productive, I began building out a RAM 1500—a project that became the cornerstone of unforgettable family adventures.

Our journey into YouTube started as a simple suggestion from a friend. We initially shared videos for family and friends, but to our surprise, those videos resonated with a wider audience, sparking a following that has continued to grow ever since.

Life hasn’t been the same since. Hard work and determination remain at the heart of what we do, but the rewards of exploring the world, sharing our experiences, and inspiring others have been beyond anything I imagined. This journey has been the most fulfilling chapter of my life, and I wouldn’t trade it for anything.

Born in 2012, this incredible boy has always been destined for greatness.

From a young age, he’s embraced adventure, learning to feel at home no matter where life takes him. Every kid he meets becomes a friend, and his ease with adults shows a maturity well beyond his years.

A modern, well-rounded kid, he balances his love for video games and electronics with creativity, writing captivating stories, editing videos, and producing amazing art when it’s time to put the controller down.

Recently, he’s stepped behind the camera during our adventures, adding his unique perspective to our family stories—a budding storyteller in the making!

And to top it all off, he’s reached a major milestone by earning his black belt in Taekwondo. We couldn’t be prouder of this talented, adventurous, and kind-hearted young man!

My name is Tosha, and I’m a pug with a big personality packed into a small body. I adore people, walks, and embarking on epic adventures with my human family. Whether we’re hitting the road or exploring new places, I thrive on making new friends and soaking up every moment of our adventures
