Osie was raised in the coalfields of Mingo County, West Virginia. It’s where she learned the value of hard work, generosity, and showing up for your community.

Her father, Clinton Layne, was a disabled veteran and retired coal miner who believed in helping people however he could. He was known for providing food and meals to those in his community who needed it most, doing so quietly and without recognition. His life wasn’t perfect, but it was rooted in perseverance, service, and care for others.

That example shaped Osie in lasting ways. She is the founder and CEO of The Feud All-Terrain Rally, carrying those values into everything she does. What began as a way to honor her father and the place that raised her has grown into a multi-day event centered on Appalachian pride, shared stories, and giving back.

For Osie, The Feud is more than an event. It’s a way to carry forward her father’s values and continue serving the community that shaped her.

With a background in healthcare, Katie brings her passion for helping others wherever she goes, on the trail and off. A North Carolina transplant originally from New Jersey, she grew up riding along in her dad’s CJ-7, dreaming of someday having her own Jeep.

In March 2024, Katie finally joined the off-road world behind the wheel of a Ford Bronco. Not a Jeep, though she’ll happily tell you her dad was the one who suggested the Bronco.

Her husband, Brad, followed two weeks later with a Bronco of his own, a timeline Katie never lets him forget. Together, they began hitting the trails with the NC Bronco Club and quickly found a community that felt like home.

Katie met Osie through the Bronco community, first online and later in person at the Bronco Off-Roadeo in Tennessee. While Osie was juggling Helene relief efforts and the early days of The Feud, Katie offered to help wherever she was needed. What started as lending a hand quickly grew into a partnership rooted in shared values, service, and community.
