About the Author:

Jeffrey Sustersic,

Jeffrey Sustersic, founder and president of Medina Adventure Company in Medina County, Ohio, is a man whose life and business are shaped by faith, family, and a calling to help others experience God’s creation. After decades of achievement in the automotive industry, Jeff reached a turning point—realizing that success without purpose leaves the soul unfulfilled. In that moment of reflection and prayer, he felt God’s unmistakable nudge to create something lasting: a company that brings families together through adventure, comfort, and the beauty of the great outdoors.

From that calling, Medina Adventure Company was born—a brand built not just on travel, but on restoration, reconnection, and renewal. Jeff believes that God owns it all—every sunrise over an Ohio lake, every winding forest trail, and every RV that carries a family toward new memories. His mission is simple yet profound: to be a faithful steward of what God has entrusted to him and to use that stewardship to serve others.

The true heartbeat of Medina Adventure Company traces back to Jeff’s late wife, Erin Sustersic, whose compassion, laughter, and unwavering love still ripple through every decision he makes. Her spirit lives on in the company’s mission—to honor God, cherish family, and inspire people to step away from distraction and step into creation. Every rental, every glamping tent, and every carefully curated piece of outdoor gear carries the echo of her joy and the reminder that the most meaningful adventures happen when hearts are fully present.

Today, Jeff and his team provide luxury RV rentals in Ohio, camper rentals, glamping tents, and family camping gear that help travelers embrace faith-filled adventure with comfort and purpose. From weekend getaways in Hocking Hills to peaceful retreats along Lake Erie, Medina Adventure Company makes exploring Ohio’s natural wonders effortless and inspiring.

For Jeff, every journey is an act of worship—a chance to slow down, breathe deeply, and recognize God’s fingerprints in the details of creation. Rooted in Medina County, Ohio, his vision remains steadfast: honor God, serve families, and make His creation feel like home.
