What’s up! I’m the driver behind Arctic.Mojave—home of the White Jeep Gladiator Mojave and the adventures it takes me on. This page started as a simple way to track my build and share cool photos, but it’s grown into something way more: a community, a passion project, and a reminder that life’s better off the pavement.

The Gladiator Mojave was built for the extremes—and that’s exactly what I chase. Whether I’m blasting the dunes, exploring remote backroads, or adding new gear to the rig, I’m all about performance, purpose, and pushing limits. I post everything from mods and gear reviews to off-road footage and scenic camp setups.

The mission? Stay motivated, stay curious, and keep inspiring others to take the leap—whether it’s your first mod or your first overland trip. I want Arctic.Mojave to be a space where Jeep lovers, explorers, and weekend warriors connect and get hyped to build their own adventures.

Fun fact: Before I became a full time content creator and photographer I worked as a Quality Manager at a Medical Device company in downtown Chicago, my Jeep and photography were only hobbies. I never hit the road without my white Monster, a camera, and trail-tested Spotify playlist.

Follow along and enjoy the ride!
