Growing up in small town Texas, off-roading and playing in the mud was the norm for Athena, and this passion developed into a pursuit of all things action-sports and off road which would eventually transition to a pursuit of all things action sports and off-road. In 2017 Athena found herself on a flight from Los Angeles to Raleigh, NC as a brand ambassador for Monster Truck Throwdown. In the following years, Athena became more intertwined with the monster truck industry, and eventually was given the opportunity to drive a race truck in October of 2022. It was then, Athena felt the pure adrenaline of horsepower and hasn't looked back since.
In May of 2023, Athena embarked on a cross-country journey in her lifted Jeep Wrangler from California to Michigan, fueled by the dream of maneuvering monster trucks. A proficient content creator, personal trainer, and avid travel enthusiast, her interests encompass adventure, coffee, trucks, dogs, fitness, and an unapologetic love for bacon. A southern girl at heart, Athena embraces her quirky side in real life. Remaining true to herself, adopting a healthy lifestyle, and relentless pursuit of her dreams define her ongoing journey.

From a young age, Elliott Miller found himself fascinated by monster trucks. The larger-than-life marvels always captured his attention on TV, and he experienced his first live event in 1997. This marked the beginning of an unyielding obsession.
After establishing himself as a photographer, Miller became a familiar face among the drivers and crew, earning recognition from fans. He gained an inside look at the sport with the Perrin Family as they campaigned "Lil’ Miss Dangerous." Learning various aspects of the industry, including mechanics and marketing, Miller contributed to the production of several outdoor events in the Midwest during the summer months. Remarkably, he managed his involvement in monster trucks while navigating through high school and college.
Two years after high school in 2009, Feld Motorsports sought out Elliott Miller to oversee the production of Monster Jam events globally, a role he fulfilled as Senior Production Manager until 2014. These events took place in prestigious NFL, NBA, and international venues that the sport visited at the time.
Simultaneously, the Monster Truck Throwdown brand was slowly taking shape and officially launched in June of 2013. Today, Monster Truck Throwdown tours the United States and Canada, organizing over 40 events annually.

I’m grateful to have been able to share my passion with so many other likeminded individuals and can’t wait to see where the next journey will take us!”
