We utilize powersports and adventure to take veterans out of their daily routine and put them back in the driver’s seat. We call it adventure therapy.

We have partnered with BRP, one of the world’s leading powersports manufacturers, along with other incredible sponsors and supporters, to give VIP adventures to deserving individuals and help them recover. We drive them to succeed, perform, and thrive in a unfamiliar environments that help them overcome some of the problems that challenge them in their daily life.

How it started

RWF came about when one of the founders, Craig Anders, was flying the E-3 AWACS and was hurt. He went from flying a $300M jet to his wife driving him to work. It was crushing and he felt like a burden to society and those around him. The hardest thing for a soldier is to lose the ability to perform their job, taking away they one thing they were trained to do, the one thing they are good at…can tear them apart. Anders, through the support of his family and friends, found that going out and doing adventurous things helped him regain his freedom and independence. His good friend and RWF co-founder, Steve Berger, saw an opportunity to apply this on a larger scale to help even more veterans, which led to them establish the Road Warrior Foundation.

 

Veteran Adventure therapy since 2013

The Road Warrior Foundation was officially established in December 2013. The focus since the very beginning was finding ways to make a difference for their fellow service members who were injured while serving. Anders and Berger had a vision for an organization that wasn’t a “big business.” They wanted to volunteer their time and energy, and to find a group of other volunteers to join them. The idea was that with little overhead and huge passion, the Foundation could deliver while ensuring that all resources go where they are needed most – directly to veterans.

Meet Kendell Madden, the adventure junkie and powersports enthusiast who brings his A-game to the Road Warrior Foundation (RWF). Kendell served with the 17th Special Operations Squadron in the US Air Force, so he knows a thing or two about high-octane action. When he’s not wrangling up connections in Austin, TX, he’s probably getting outpaced by his wife and two boys or trying to convince everyone that building a 10th Planet Jiu Jitsu program is as cool as it sounds. He’s a die-hard fan of anything that goes vroom and firmly believes that North American-made products are the best (sorry, not sorry). Kendell’s mission? To make sure veterans have the most epic, adrenaline-pumping experiences ever, living up to the wild spirit of the Road Warrior Foundation.

When not volunteering his time to the foundation, Matt can probably be found traveling the country, flying drones, or jumping out of planes as an avid skydiver.
