Why Events?

I am someone who loves putting on events, loves the strategy of them and trying to create an experience that lasts. When i owned the Trail Racing Company we put on races that went from 5k to 200 milers on foot through the desert days on end. I managed them all, i thought of all the graphics and I ran it top to bottom until we sold it. But in the end events are a servants role and that is for me where i think i present the best version of myself.
