We're a crew who likes machines, speed, fixing things, breaking things, going places, campfire coffee, garage beers, dark skies, dirt, deserts, trees, and really, really good shocks. We founded this place because work bad, side-by-sides good.

Zach Bowman

Co-Founder

Former editor-in-chief of UTVDriver.com. Tennessee native and professional idiot. Sucker for turbocharged triples. An off-road veteran, Zach has tested, jumped, or rolled nearly every model of side-by-side sold and put tire to dirt in 48 states. Some years back, he briefly gained national attention for civil-disobedience trespassing on federal parkland during a government shutdown.

Colin Comer

Co-Founder

Racer, pilot, lifelong Wisconsin cheesehead, and DirtHammer’s dealmaking ace in the hole. A specialty car dealer, a serial entrepreneur, and the author of eight books on classic cars, Colin has owned and raced everything from hot-dog carts to Trans-Am Mustangs. He became addicted to side-by-sides after being handed the keys to a friend’s. The first hit is always free.

Aaron Richardson

Chief Operating Officer

Former executive editor for UTV Driver, Virginian, and operator of a no-kill motorcycle shelter. Aaron's happy place is as deep in the booger woods as he can get, whether it's hunting white tail, stretching the dog's legs, or exploring Blue Ridge hollers on a Yamaha. When he isn't behind the wheel of a side-by-side, he's pondering the mysteries of a vintage BMW.

Michael Chaffee

First Engineer and Chief Optimist

Man of the world, sailor, and an enthusiast for absolutely anything that rips, Michael is the mind behind Auctionator, the auction engine at the heart of DirtHammer. When he's not working to keep DirtHammer humming, you'll find him sailing around the NYC area or riding his KTM 525 in the hills of East Tennessee.
