"I want to be a part of making that kind of history with many other great people that may be held back by their prosthetics, so together let’s make your weakness your strength."

Cole Venard’s journey in the world of motorsports and Monster Jam began in 2007 when he started as a crew member for Chad Tingler, working on the iconic Grave Digger Truck. Quickly showcasing his mechanical and technical prowess, Cole ascended to the role of Crew Chief for Adam Anderson, collaborating on various trucks including Taz, Grave Digger the Legend, and Grave Digger itself.

In 2015, Cole seized the opportunity to step into the driver’s seat, initially filling in for Adam in Orlando, FL, and later securing a full-time driving position for Team Grave Digger. Remarkably, he clinched his tour championship in his debut season as a driver in 2016 and repeated the feat the following year.

Venturing into the independent monster truck circuit in late 2017, Cole introduced the unique Black Pearl Monster Truck before being invited to tour with Monster Jam in 2018, amassing a devoted fanbase drawn to his thrilling driving skills and storied industry background.
