Michael moved from Montana to California to pursue his dream of playing football at UCLA. Running has always been a passion for him, so much so that he has "born to run" tattooed across his leg as a testament to his love for the sport. For fun, Michael and his friends embark on long-distance runs that take them across various terrains and countries, exploring different parts of the globe. These adventures are more than just physical challenges; they embody a spirit of punk rock, counterculture, and a celebration of the human spirit's resilience and freedom. Through these experiences, Michael finds a unique blend of camaraderie, adventure, and personal growth.
