Jonathan “Grizz” Yates, owner and founder of Bear Brothers, is usually on the road between locations on his phone putting out fires or connecting with clients. With a love for trucks since childhood though, Bear Brothers is just as much play as it is work for him. It is here where he is able to marry his passion for artistic design and eye for finished projects with his keen mind for business and personal joy connecting with people. His faith in Jesus inspires him to seek and tell stories of restoration, like the story of his own life, and with each build he sees another chance to give hope to people who feel beyond repair. At his side and cheering him on you'll find his wife and business partner Heather, and their two kids who love riding with Daddy in old but made new Chevy trucks!
