Experience

Sean has spent the last 15 years between East Africa and California. Shaped by the people and the landscapes of Northern Uganda and the Eastern Sierra, the liminality between the two remains his greatest teacher.

He finds delight in both long rides across continents and quick laps around the neighborhood. He’s bantered his way through borders, ran with giraffes, and been humbled in the mountains. Good fitness and the right gear won’t hurt, but the right attitude and well timed heckle will get you further. 

He believes that the bonds of friendship forged through adversity are what makes adventure worth pursuing.
