Good ol' Dusty—what can I say? He was one of the founders of 7ast 7riends and a huge part of getting it off the ground.

Dustin’s been a fan of everything off-road from day one, with a deep history in Baja California that eventually led him to his role as Marketing Director for Rugged Radios.

From the start, he was one of my first partners and always down for anything that sounded like a good time. Whether it was events, spontaneous projects, or the birth of this brand, Dustin’s been there. He’s the type of guy who doesn’t just show up; he brings energy and commitment, every time.

He’s also supported some amazing causes and people through his role at Rugged Radios. From standing with Friends of Oceano Dunes to backing up-and-coming drivers like our buddy Bryce Ronsonet, Dustin manages to keep his feet on solid ground while supporting some of the biggest names in the game, like Trophy Truck and Ultra4 teams.

And whenever we’re in the same place, we make it count. Whether we’re sharing a bottle of Bulleit Bourbon, throwing snowballs at each other during Easter Jeep Safari, or catching up when one of us rolls into town, he’s one of those 7riends you look forward to hanging out with. A day, a month, or a week—it doesn’t matter. We always pick up right where we left off.

And our guy is creative, from being behind the camera, coming up with marketing ideas to even the projects he's been a part of, he keeps the industry 7un and cool to be a part of.

There aren’t many people you can call up and know you’ll burn a couple of hours just hanging out and shooting the shit.  If you’re measured by the company you keep, Dustin makes you look pretty damn good. Couldn’t be prouder to call him a 7riend and have him as part of this rad community of people who keep it real.

7amily 7irst!
