Growing up immersed in the world of racing, Jody developed a lifelong passion for bringing people together on and off the track. When he was a teenager his father Wayne served as Fair Chairman at the Moravia Firemens Fair, an experience that led to a formative meeting with Jerry Gillette at a young age. Jody then would spend his summers working for the Gillette family at Gillette Shows. That early connection grew into a lasting friendship that continues to this day. Jody later moved to Mooresville, North Carolina, to work in NASCAR, gaining valuable experience in a fast-paced, high-profile industry. He eventually returned to what he knew, founding Moose Joose Slush and building the Slush carts from the ground up alongside his family. Jody is committed not only to providing a quality experience and product, but also to supporting the fairs and festivals he partners with, helping them grow, adapt, and thrive in what we know as an evolving industry. Today, Jody proudly travels the East Coast with Moose Joose, supporting fairs and music festivals and continuing a family legacy of entertainment, community, and connection.
