We had the good fortune of connecting with Caity Stockbridge and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi Caity, can you tell us more about your background and the role it’s played in shaping who you are today?
Being a military brat, “where are you from?” tends to be a difficult question to answer. I was born in Honolulu, HI and then moved around from state to state until I was seven years old and my family settle in Georgia, where I lived until I was about 19/20 and then decided to venture out on my own.

I think moving around so much throughout my young adulthood, has helped shape my adventurous spirit and need to always be on the move – whether it’s in a work setting or wheelin’ out in the Colorado mountains! While military aspect of my upbringing, pushes me to always stay determined and goal driven.

Can you open up a bit about your work and career? We’re big fans and we’d love for our community to learn more about your work.
Creating a Brand is not for the faint of heart, I quickly learned that throughout this past year as a Jeep content creator.

When I started creating content back in the beginning of 2024, I had no idea that it would amount to anything more than just me sharing a couple pictures of my Jeep that I thought were cool! But, here I am about to end the year with more than 20,000 followers and so many amazing memories to show for it! If I’m being honest, I still have no idea how I was able to amass such a following in a small amount of time. But, I’m grateful every single day for all of the friendships formed and business opportunities curated!
It definitely wasn’t an easy feat. From installing all my mods and maintaining the vehicle myself, to taking the photos and videos, to editing, to thinking up unique and intriguing captions, to interacting with thousands of people a week, it became a full-time job. But, those interactions ended up becoming my favorite part of it all! Being able to connect with followers is such a privilege that most take for granted. I often refer to my followers as my “friends” or “besties”, because through those interactions I was able to establish true friendships and support systems in the Jeeping community that will last for years! Which I think is a lot cooler than just a couple pictures of my Jeep!

Let’s say your best friend was visiting the area and you wanted to show them the best time ever. Where would you take them? Give us a little itinerary – say it was a week long trip, where would you eat, drink, visit, hang out, etc.
As an off-roading enthusiast, my favorite spots are always going to be the ones you have to work for to get to.

However, when I’m not off in the mountains wheeling, you can usually catch me starting my day by grabbing a (vegan) donut from Voodoo Doughnuts on Peña, followed by a scooter ride in the RiNo Art District. I absolutely love seeing all the amazing creativity and talent and I feel like I see something new every time I go! But, if that’s not your cup of tea – Wonderyard Garden + Table is another one of my go-to’s! The vibes are always immaculate and I feel like I’m stepping into a storybook everytime I go. Plus the dining options are great and drinks are so festive, it’s kind of hard not to like this place!

Who else deserves some credit and recognition?
When moving out here, less than a year ago, I knew no one! But, very quickly through the help of Facebook & Instagram, I was able to help form a group of amazing ladies who all have one HUGE thing in common! Off-roading!! Midwest4x4Wheelhers

This group which started out small, with just 6 or 7 of us, in the beginning of 2024. Has already grown to over 100 members across the Midwest!
