Our Story

In 2005 Tommy Stoffel found himself maxed-out, over-stressed and on the verge of losing everything he thought important. Never a quitter, Tommy dug deep, found answers, worked hard and climbed his way to freedom.

In 2018 Bryan Bernard awoke to realize he had "succeeded" in winning the rat race, only to see he had become a rat – and was miserable as hell. 

With the help of his new friend Tommy and his approach to mindfulness, Bryan broke free from the grip of a deep depression. Using their mutual love of off-roading as a vehicle, they developed a practical, approachable, and kickass-fun framework to help people deal with the stressors in life. Together, they've helped hundreds of people break free before they break down.

Bryan is a successful software entrepreneur and a life-long writer. Tommy, rocket scientist and ex-military officer, is now simply a peacebringer. Together, they are co-authors of Take The Wheel (a new book arriving September 2024), co-hosts and executive producers of the Offroad Monks documentary as seen at the 2024 Pasadena International Film Festival, and co-leaders of Zen Offroad Adventures.
