About the Ride Moab Industries Family
Tyler and KaLeigh Welch, proud owners of Ride Moab Industries—and even prouder Moab locals. Their family has called this valley home for seven generations, and they're raising the eighth with their sons, Graysen and Taylen. For them, Moab isn’t just a location—it’s a legacy. "Growing up here gave us a deep love for the land, its trails, and the rich stories woven through every canyon and cliff."
Meet Tyler – Owner & Operator
Tyler is a USMC combat veteran and was active duty Infantry from 2003-2011), during that time he did two tours in Ar Ramadi, Iraq (2003 & 2007) and one MEW (2005). During his first tour in Ar Ramadi in 2003 he was wounded when he received shrapnel to his face in an IED explosion. From 2007-2011 Tyler was stationed at the Bridgeport Mountain Warfare Training Center as a Red Hat Mountain Warfare Instructor, training Marines, Navy and Navy Seals to survive weeks and sometimes months in the harsh summer & winter terrain of the Sierra Nevada Mountains. This time in the Marines was by far his favorite. Spending time on the mountain in this rugged terrain was extremely healing for him. Riding has been Tyler's therapy and immensely helped him in his transition from his military career into his civilian life. Tyler gained an abundance of skill sets that he uses now to provide an excellent service to his clients. Tyler then spent 10 years working for the National Park Service after his enlistment gaining 18 years in total with the federal government. In April 2021 Tyler put in his notice to leave the comfort of a 7-5, 40hr work week, retirement, and steady paycheck to take the chance on the dream of running their own business and living an adventure worth living. He’s earned the opportunity to give his personal dreams a chance with Ride Moab Industries

Meet the Boys
Graysen (11) and Taylen (7) are our wild-at-heart next generation. Graysen, lovingly nicknamed “Race’n Graysen,” is better on two wheels than on his own two feet, and Taylen is right behind him, quickly growing into his own adventurous spirit. Both boys started riding dirt bikes at age two and are already following in their dad’s tracks—literally and figuratively.
