How did we get the name "Grizzly"?

Our founder and CEO, Wesley Chenoweth, earned the nickname "Grizzly" during his college years.  His teammates told him, he was like a teddy bear off the field but a grizzly bear on the field; symbolizing his tenacity on the field and his warm, friendly demeanor off it. Today, Grizzly Rides embodies that same spirit—fierce in our commitment to service but always with a friendly touch.
