Founder / Lead Trainer
Derek is the founder and Lead Trainer at M4TREC with a passion for extreme 4WD off-road adventures. When he isn’t tackling slippery slopes, navigating nasty gullies or winching himself out of axle-deep mud tracks on the weekends, he will be tinkering his truck for his next jungle adventure. He brings with him extensive experience driving off-road over challenging terrains and it's no surprise that he is also the curator of our off-road obstacle course.
