This project was a longtime dream and labor of love for me. I grew up loving cars and everything automotive. My family owned a speedway in MN, and my father holds the title for most SCCA wins. I grew up a pit kid. I was thrilled to parlay that passion for cars into a TV hosting career that has spanned two decades. After hosting shows like Overhaulin, Spike TV's Powerblock, PowerNation, Destination Wild and NASCAR, I decided to create and EP my own TV series, The Ride That Got Away. On this feelgood show we reunite deserving people with their dream cars that they had to part with after falling on hard times. We modernize and enhance them before giving them to the recipient in an unexpected reveal. I partnered with History Channel for US distribution, hired world renowned car designer Troy Ladd and a team of the industry's best to design and build the cars, and assembled an all-star production crew. It's an honor to bring joy to these deserving people's lives. And I have a blast diving in and helping deconstruct and rebuild these classic rides. Season one was a great success! The series has been incredibly well received, and I'm extremely grateful for that support and excited to keep making the show stronger. We are gearing up for season two!
