Experience & Background

My journey with vehicles began in my childhood when I received a 1970 Jeep CJ-5 from my father. This sparked a lifelong passion for automobiles. I’ve pursued various automotive hobbies, including offroading and earning certification as an I4WDTA® Certified Trainer. I also founded Jeep Runner, a platform dedicated to Jeep parts and accessories.

In 2021, my interest shifted to electric vehicles when I purchased a 2021 Jeep Wrangler 4xe. The hybrid technology introduced me to the world of EVs and the need for reliable charging infrastructure. This experience led me to research, test, and review hundreds of EV chargers and accessories, earning certification through the Electric Vehicle Infrastructure Training Program (EVITP).

I’m committed to enhancing my off-roading experiences with electric vehicles and staying updated on the latest EV technology.
