The Good Van started the way all good things do — in a driveway.

Brian was building out vans one by one in his driveway — just him, his tools, and a stubborn love for making something by hand. Then came Johnny, and what began as a one-man setup became a partnership built on trust, vision, and a shared obsession with getting the details right. They called it The Good Van.

From those early days in a dusty Los Alamitos warehouse to the bigger space we now call home, the spirit’s stayed the same: build with care, keep it human, and don’t take shortcuts. Cass joined the team last summer, bringing more creative energy and a fresh set of eyes to the work we do.

We’re still small by choice — just a few people building thoughtful homes on wheels and sharing what we’ve learned along the way. Whether we’re throwing a community event or talking shop over coffee, we’re here to connect, create, and keep doing it the good way.

Meet the Team

  • Founder

    I’m a father and husband first, and an entrepreneur second. After years spent behind the lens — shooting surf, moto, and lifestyle content while living and traveling in vans — I knew the idea of a rolling home studio was something worth sharing.

  • Co-Founder

    I’ve always been drawn to building, exploring, and finding freedom beyond a desk job. After building a camper van in 2020, I teamed up with Brian on a collaborative project, and we quickly discovered a shared vision. I’m now co-owner of The Good Van, where we blend design, adventure, and craftsmanship into every build.

  • Project Coordinator

    After leaving the Midwest in search of a more intentional life, I landed in Southern California and eventually moved into a van full time. Now on my second DIY build, van life has become both my lifestyle and my creative outlet. Fate (and maybe a little good timing) brought me to The Good Van, where I now get to help others take the leap too.

Let’s Talk Vans.

We’ll build a plan and show you how it all works.
