Customer Spotlight: Patric Fransko

In this customer spotlight, we’re featuring Patric Fransko, a Jeep Gladiator owner with a deep passion for overlanding and off-road exploration. As the owner of a marketing agency, Eye Magnet Management, and a contributor to Adventure Rigs Magazine, Patric’s lifestyle is all about striking a balance between work and his passion for adventure. Whether it's a weekend off-roading or planning a trip to the Arctic Circle, his journey inspires us to dream big and travel further.

TELL US A BIT ABOUT YOUR JEEP GLADIATOR. WHY A JEEP?

"I have always loved Jeeps but also wanted the practicality of a truck. I previously owned a Wrangler JL, but when the Gladiator came out, I just had to trade up." Patric’s switch from the Wrangler to the Jeep Gladiator combined his love for rugged vehicles with the utility and versatility of a pickup truck—perfect for overlanding.

WHAT GOT YOU INVOLVED IN PHOTOGRAPHY AND VIDEO EDITING? HOW DID YOU LEARN?

Patric's passion for photography and video editing was born out of his work in marketing. "I own a marketing agency and learned by doing work for our clients," he says, underscoring the blend of professional skills and personal interests that fuel his creativity.

WHAT IS YOUR PROFESSION / WHAT DO YOU DO FOR WORK?

As the owner of a marketing agency and a contributor to Adventure Rigs Magazine, Patric’s work is deeply intertwined with his passion for off-roading. His expertise in both marketing and content creation allows him to share his adventures with a wide audience.

WHAT ELSE DO YOU LIKE TO DO IN YOUR FREE TIME?

When he's not working or on an off-road adventure, Patric enjoys golf, camping, and watching his kids play sports, blending his active lifestyle with family time.

Camping trips are done both solo and as a family with his Bernese Mountain Dog. Patric enjoys camping since it serves as a reset from his busy job. He will always choose something more remote and off-the-grid over a campground unless it's a place like Yosemite.

DO YOU HAVE A FAVORITE TRIP OR UPCOMING TRIP PLANNED WITH YOUR GLADIATOR?

Patric has already been on countless offroad and overlanding trips, but he has his sights set on a bucket-list adventure: "I hope to do a trip through Canada and Alaska, all the way to the Arctic Circle in my Sprinter van."
