Born and raised in Alaska, Chelsey has always been in love with the outdoors. She was always either covered in dirt or high up in a tree. Nothing much has changed, except now she calls Bend, Oregon her home and instead of being high up in trees, you can find her climbing up giant cliff faces, adventure racing on Team BendRacing, putting on races with her husband at www.bendracing.com or playing in the dirt with her two little boys. For a look into her other more “mother/athlete” focused writings, check out www.endurancemama.com
A Word From Chelsey
I chose this career because I am both deeply passionate about adventure racing and venturing into the great outdoors with my family. In both of these circumstances, gear plays a big role. Naturally, I fell in love with the gear that helped me succeed in my professions and in my many ambitious family outings! I became so passionate about the gear and the people and stories behind it that I wanted to share it with others through words and images.
