A few years ago, while living in Ipswich, MA, something dawned on me. There was a serious lack of car community, culture, and someone to lead it all in the North Shore region of Massachusetts. I decided to take the reins and go full throttle!
I started a Facebook and Instagram group, shared it friends who I knew would love to gather for a cruise, brews and a good ol' fashioned drive along the coast of New Hampshire and Massachusetts. Partnering with local businesses to host us and to ensure a business had enough parking space for a car show at the end of the 50 mile monthly cruises was a task that took a bit of time. So, I decided to find and host our events at two local breweries, True North Brewery and RiverWalk Brewing. This ended up growing into a monthly event with over 200 cars showing up each month so these to venues were the perfect size (oh, and the perfect beer and food to top it off!).
We hosted our first event on May 13th, 2023. We met in Portsmouth, New Hampshire, and cruised down Route 1A South to our final destination for the Cruse & Brews, RiverWalk Brewing. What shocked me the most about starting this, was that Dad's would bring their children in their cars or have their entire families, yes entire family including grandparents, meet us at our final stop for the car show.
Seeing families enjoy the time spent together was what I wanted to build. A community surrounding family, motorsports and the love for car culture. There is nothing better to me than this. Than bearing the fruits of our labor with others that have a common interest, a common lifestyle, and a means to want to do better for one another.
Even though my family and I moved to AZ last year, this club still holds a piece of my heart as the guiding light to what can and will be built again. Here's do Dad Driven. Here's to Fatherhood. Here's to building a legacy for our family.
