Trent McGee, Host

An avid off-road enthusiast, Trent began his professional career in 1996 at Petersen Publishing and eventually worked his way up to Technical Editor of Petersen's 4Wheel & Off-Road Magazine, then and now the largest off-road enthusiast publication in the country. In the spring of 1999 Trent left the magazine business for a marketing position at Superlift Suspension Systems, where he writes and coordinates much of the company's marketing material, instructions, and installation articles in addition to managing the company's extensive public relations and events programs. Trent spends approximately two months every year traveling to off-road trail rides and shows where he has a chance to interact with a wide range of off-road enthusiasts and gain a unique insight into their questions, interests, and concerns. When not in the office or in the shop working on one of his 4x4s, Trent can usually be found out on the trails in his beat-up Blazer climbing rocks and breaking stuff.

Trent handles many facets of Superlift's Off-Road Adventures. Aside from turning suggestions into show content, Trent manages the scripting and assists in the execution of the show.

Following an impressive start at Video Revolution, Brad embarked on a new career doing what he loves by starting Smith Productions.

Smith Productions uses all of the latest video producing technologies. Video is shot using high-end 3 CCD DV camcorders, and editing is executed on all digital non-linear editing systems.

Bret Lovett, Executive Producer

President and CEO, Bret is the driving force of Superlift. Having grown the company from a small garage-based business into a multi-million dollar firm, Superlift is now a major player in the off-road suspension market. Bret has always been an off-road enthusiast, which is one of the reasons Superlift has been successful. Whether he is tackling the swamps of Louisiana, conquering the rocks of Utah, or climbing the hills of Arkansas, Bret can be seen in one of the many Superlift vehicles testing suspension systems to their limit. He has competed in National Rockcrawling Championships since they began, and he can often be seen at events four-wheeling with the people that use and sell his products.

Superlift's Off-Road Adventures is Bret's latest brainchild, and he has combined his longstanding relationship with Brad Smith at Smith Productions to make his vision a reality. Bret will oversee the quality of the show and will contribute greatly to its direction and execution.
