#92 | From Chronic Illness to Outdoor Equity Advocate: Austin Nicassio on Building Adventure for the Disabled Community Through Accessible Off-Road
On this episode I have LA based adventure enthusiast, SoCal trekker, outdoor accessibility advocate and founder of the non-profit Accessible Off-Road, Austin Nicassio, join me on the show.
We chatted about Austin's first meaningful memories out in nature, his debilitating chronic illness diagnosis, his personal journey of managing this life altering event, what inspired him to create Accessible Off-Road, promoting outdoor equity for the disabled community, introducing electric off-road wheelchairs to public parks, his growing partnership with California State Parks and Trails LA County, his top trails in California, his background working in the space industry to now running his own non-profit, a dramatic survival story in the San Gabriel mountains, and the one outdoor experience he would relive all over again.
