Our Leadership
Founder, pastor, and rider, the man behind the mission.
Tom “Gladiator” Sheltraw
Founder & International Overseer, Dauntless Few Motorcycle Ministry
Tom, known across the biker and ministry world as Gladiator, is a man marked by calling, forged by adversity, and driven by purpose. After years of faithfully serving in another motorcycle ministry, he began to sense that the Lord was calling him to finish a work that had been stirring deep within his spirit — a vision bigger than one man, bigger than a patch, and bigger than a single club. That vision became Dauntless Few.
Gladiator leads from the saddle, not from a distance. He rides more than 35,000 miles a year, travelling across multiple states to rallies and events from Arizona to Texas to Daytona Beach — known not just for his patch, but for his heart to serve, pray, and connect with people wherever he rides.
“Nothing says you love a person more than when you ride many miles just to see them.”
He has been married more than 30 years to his wife, Brynn, and together they have five children. Many of his cross-country rides have included his kids — his daughter Trinity has logged over 13,000 miles on the back of his bike, and Taelyn more than 18,000.
Gladiator also serves as pastor of Warrior Biker Church in Laguna Hills, California, a branch of Dauntless Few MM, and is preparing to travel to Nairobi, Kenya to strengthen leadership and preach at the newly launched Warrior Biker Church Kenya.
Pastor. Rider. Discipler. Brother. That’s Gladiator.
