Coley & Ryan Brady | Co-Founders

The Brady family history is deeply rooted in the RV industry with their father, Brian Brady, successfully leading startup companies like Damon RV (now Thor Motor Coach) in the 1990’s and Heartland RV in 2004. With a family passion for RVs, brothers Coley and Ryan have gained a combined 23+ years of RV experience while serving in senior leadership roles at Heartland RV. While proud of their previous achievements, the brothers took a leap of faith to embark on a different way of doing business, one that they believe will enhance the RV ownership experience.

Coley Brady has 15 years of experience in the RV industry and was at Heartland RV since the first year of its inception. Quickly rising through the ranks to Vice President of Sales and Marketing, Coley was integral in growing Heartland into one of the largest RV manufacturers in the industry. Prior to Heartland, Coley graduated from the University of Notre Dame and worked as a CPA for KPMG (Chicago office) and Crowe (South Bend office). Coley and his wife Patty reside in Granger, IN with their 4 children.

Ryan Brady has 9 years of experience in the RV industry. He holds a bachelor’s degree from the University of Notre Dame and an MBA from the University of Chicago. Upon graduation Ryan worked at Prairie Capital, a Chicago based private equity firm.

Ryan and his wife Lauren reside in Niles, MI with their 2 children.

Dennis Donat | Chief Financial Officer

Dennis has served in the role of CFO for nearly 20 years of his career, first at Pace American Cargo Trailers and then at Heartland RV. Happily retired since 2016, there was only one thing that could bring him out of retirement.

He is a graduate of Manchester University and has also earned his CPA certification. Currently residing in Rome City, IN with his wife Pam, Dennis is an avid golfer. While he has vast experience as CFO, the Senior PGA Tour is not likely in his future.

Engineering is in Eric’s DNA with nearly 30 years of RV industry experience. Most recently serving as the Engineering lead at Grand Design RV, Eric knows what it takes to develop innovative floorplans and launch new product lines from the ground up.

Erik and his wife Teresa reside in Syracuse, IN along with their 2 cats. When it is time to chill out, Erik enjoys target shooting and playing his ukulele. Maybe if we ask him real nicely he will play a song for us.
