Same mentality from Olympic racing — analyze, compete, improve. Working the short game, dialing in approach shots, and grinding out every round.

Year-RoundTraining
MOUNTAIN & OUTDOOR
Sierra Nevada Living
Truckee, CA is basecamp. Every season brings a new way to use the mountains — from snow ops to trail running to backcountry exploration.
SUMMER
Mountain Biking
Northstar bike park, Downieville, Tahoe Rim Trail. Same mountains, different wheels. Cross-training that builds explosive power for every other sport.
YEAR-ROUND
Rock & Ice
Donner Summit granite in summer, ice climbing in winter. The grip strength and problem-solving translate directly to running heavy equipment in tight spaces.
AERIAL
Cinematography
IMDB-credited cinematographer. Camera work that started in the mountains now covers everything from action sports to construction documentation.
FITNESS & TRAINING
Operator Fitness
Olympic training meets construction-site conditioning. The body is a tool — it needs to perform in a race gate at 60mph and in a trench at 6am. Year-round programming.
STRENGTH
Functional Strength
Deadlifts, Olympic lifts, loaded carries. Training that translates — because moving a 300lb excavator thumb by hand requires real strength, not gym show.
ENDURANCE
Trail Running & Cardio
Tahoe Rim Trail, Donner Lake loops, high-altitude intervals. Cardio base that keeps you sharp through 12-hour excavation shifts and powder days alike.
