The Aberdeen Truckers are based on my Father, Dean Vittetoe. For all of my life and many years before, my dad’s profession has been a truck driver. The primary logo is based on a Peterbilt, the manufacturer of his preferred rig. As a kid, I would often go out on the road with him, driving all over the country. My love of travel developed as a result. Sports and travel have played large roles in our bonding time. He took me to my first sporting event, a St. Louis Cardinals game in 1993, and my first NHL game with the St. Louis Blues in 1997. We have been to several different games since then and I have enjoyed them all. No matter where our conversations start, they always end up discussing the world of sports. The number 30 is for my dad’s age when I was born.
