How did you get started in Monster Trucks?

JK – Our 4X4 trucks kept getting bigger and bigger. More power, better parts, and eventually, I had a monster truck. Avenger debuted in 1997. The Avenger name came from my father’s drag car. Growing up from mud trucks to cars all had the Avenger name on it.

What are your favorite things to do in your down time?
JK – Spending time with my family is the best when we’re not on the road. Enjoying the outdoors here in Michigan is always great.

What’s your favorite food?
