You can find him in the mountains, at the local bike parks, shredding the dusty and loose Laguna Beach trails, or on a road trip with his bike and Pupper Pip. He's constantly traveling, on the lookout for amazing trails throughout the country, and sharing his adventures through The Outsider MTB Youtube channel.
