In this episode of Off Road Ramble, we sit down with Mike — a former military helicopter pilot, Department of Interior professional, and now mental health business owner — to hear one of the most unique stories we’ve had on the show.
Mike walks us through his journey from military service to working in mental health, why that transition mattered, and how his passion for service never really stopped — it just changed forms.
We also dive into his two INEOS Grenadiers (yes, one for him and one for his wife), why he replaced his custom Jeeps with the Grenadier platform, and what he’s learned after living with them in the real world.
This episode blends vehicles, purpose, and personal growth — and shows how off-road culture, mental health, and service can intersect in powerful ways.
Topics covered:
• Life as a military helicopter pilot
• Transitioning into mental health work
• Why he chose the INEOS Grenadier
• Vehicle walk-throughs & real-world use
• Replacing Jeeps with Grenadiers
• The importance of purpose after service
