I purchased a NEW 4x4 Rig this week! 2023 Winnebago Adventure Wagon Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 4x4. 🚐💨
2023 DREAM ACHIEVED. This VAN is PERSEVERANCE & THE LONG ROAD.
A lot of people may think this happened OVERNIGHT. It DIDN’T.
Despite people counting me out, I’ve been committed to the long-term:
My early years were not ideal.
Left England in middle of the night at 8 years old. My deaf mother (American), younger sister & I escaped to a battered women’s shelter in the UK before escaping to USA in 1995.
My father (British) is a violent alcoholic. Despite not growing up with a father in England, the USA called. 🇺🇸
Arrived in Colorado with nothing. A FRESH START.
Despite meager circumstances, my single mom raised us. We bootstrapped & figured it out.
Hockey taught me: Hard work. Teamwork. Perseverance. Patience. Work Ethic. Communication. Dedication. Goal-Setting. Sacrifice.
In 2001, we packed our shit & relocated to Colorado Springs. Culture shock - Small mountain town to big urban sprawl.
Worked 2 jobs through college.
Graduated DU in 2009 & joined workforce during worst financial crisis in US history.
Joined commercial real estate firm & worked for FREE, cold-calling apartment owners.
Started my own business in 2012, Blue Line Sports Management, a hockey agency to mentor young players. Hockey is my PASSION.
Became an analyst at a multifamily investment group specializing in managing apartments.
Became an Asset Manager overseeing a portfolio of 11 apartment properties/employees. LEARNED.
Worked real estate job, WHILE bootstrapping my boutique hockey business. FULL-TIME, Non-stop & highly competitive.
After 5 years in multifamily, I pivoted to my hockey business full-time. ALL-IN.
Operated Blue Line Sports Management for 12 years. Helped players secure NCAA degrees (full credit to the players)!
👆
This ENTIRE journey = TODAY. Countless lessons learned. TRUST GUT instincts. You CAN make a career out of your PASSION.
Became financially independent. Good fortune & OPPORTUNITY.
THIS VAN represents STRUGGLES & life’s JOURNEY. Sleepless nights + SWEAT EQUITY. Nothing comes easy. SACRIFICE & HARD WORK. IT DIDN'T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT!
From the DIRT to the CLOUDS.
I am PROUD of MYSELF, my FAMILY, my STRUGGLE, my JOURNEY, my UPBRINGING & MY SHORT-TERM SACRIFICES. These equal LONG-TERM GAINS.
PLAY THE LONG GAME. Take the LONG ROAD!
Call me a grateful Capitalist. I am proud of this country & what it stands for: OPPORTUNITY & FREEDOM. 🇺🇸
This VAN is 37 years of GRINDING OUT THERE IN THEM STREETS.
This VAN is the AMERICAN DREAM and my American Dream. I will NEVER take that for granted.
🚐 🇺🇸

This rig will allow me the flexibility to travel with my GF and 2 Dogs while documenting my travels and my off-grid lifestyle. I am extremely excited for the content this will allow me for my Channel, in combination with my off-grid mountain property in Colorado.
2023 WINNEBAGO ADVENTURE WAGON
MERCEDES BENZ 2500 4x4 SPRINTER VAN
PEBBLE GREY COLOR (TAN)
CLASS B - High Roof
19 Ft., 4 Inch Length - 144" Chassis
Turbo Diesel 3.0L 6 Cylinder Engine
Low & High Range 4x4 Capability
This Mercedes Benz chassis is a 2022, which was the LAST year that Mercedes made a 4 wheel drive 4x4 sprinter with the V6 engine and a low and high-range 4 wheel drive capability. Mercedes has since replaced all Sprinter Vans with a new All-Wheel Drive (AWD), 2.0 liter 4 cylinder engine for all models 2023 and newer....I really wanted (and preferred) the older, tried-and-true V6 engine platform with the 4x4 ability.
The Winnebago Adventure Wagon Buildout is a newer 2023 model that will allow me to live and travel off-grid without having to winterize anything. This model RV/Van is a class B van that is RVIA certified, but it does not have sewer or water hookups, no gray water tanks or plumbing, and no traditional running water.
STAY TUNED!
"UNTIL NEXT TIME, I'LL CONTINUE BROADCASTING FROM WAY OUT THERE."
