Loren founded XGRiD Campers in 2020 after 20+ years in corporate strategy, branding, and partnership development in software.  An avid camper, RV’er, and outdoor enthusiast, Loren grew up in the Sierra Nevadas exploring the backcountry through Yosemite.  He got into off-roading with a Nissan Titan in the early 2000s after relocating to Las Vegas and started adventuring with some local clubs.   His first RV was a 27ft Forest River with all the amenities that an 8000lb bumper pull could offer at the time.   It wasn’t long after, that the off-roading and RV’ing merged and Loren realized the tandem axle, “stick ‘n tin,” wasn’t going to cut it for the outdoor lifestyle Loren and his family were seeking.   In the quest to find a more rugged, better-built, off-road camper, Loren traveled to big box dealers throughout the country looking for something better.   It was this experience of researching off-road campers and visiting traditional dealerships where XGRiD was born.   With an intense focus on providing the best products and experience for customers, XGRiD Campers is dedicated to helping customers find the right basecamp for their journey.  

Jeremy is the enthusiastic leader of our Knoxville team, bringing over 25 years of experience in the Technology industry. As a lifelong entrepreneur, he's always been driven to innovate and explore new horizons. In 2020, Jeremy, alongside his wife Chris and their family, reignited their passion for the outdoors. They had been avid off-roaders for more than ten years, but their aspirations evolved to explore even more remote destinations. This quest led them to seek out a camper that combined rugged capability with the comforts they had come to appreciate over years of outdoor adventures. Their journey brought them to XGRiD in 2022, where they purchased their own camper. This experience was transformative, extending beyond the joys of remote camping and overlanding. Jeremy and Chris discovered a vibrant community of service providers, manufacturers, and creative minds dedicated to enabling this unique lifestyle. Now, Jeremy is thrilled to be at the forefront of helping others achieve their dreams of adventure. He is committed to aiding clients in building lasting memories and reconnecting with nature. His days are filled with the joy of guiding people towards fulfilling their outdoor aspirations, underpinned by his extensive professional expertise and personal passion for adventure.
