Today’s guest is a documentary filmmaker, relentless bikepack racer, and an all around incredible, thoughtful amazing human. I had the opportunity to get to know him better on the last couple days of the Colorado Trail Race as we pushed our bikes through the night together for endless miles. He’s had a year of difficult race finishes including Arizona Trail Race 300, The Grand Loop, Colorado Trail Race, and just recently a win on his own event called Escape LA. I was fortunate enough to give the route a go and it did not disappoint and we spent most of this episode debriefing from both our adventures. His documentary film called “Hidden in Plain Sight” is currently making the film festival tours and will be available to the public soon.
