For 25 years, my life has been defined by the pursuit of mastery over the human machine. As "Bronco Billy," I’ve secured over 30 wins at the 100-mile distance by treating my body like a fine-tuned expedition vehicle. My passion is fueled by functional strength and mobility—the armor that allows me to dominate technical terrain at 50+. Driven by grit and mindset training, I use fitness as a passport to adventure, proving that with the right strategy, our greatest miles are always ahead.

I train to be an unbreakable mountain athlete. My fitness is forged through thousands of annual trail miles, but the secret to my longevity is a "hybrid" approach. I prioritize functional gym strength to build durability and mobility work to keep my movement fluid on technical terrain. To balance the high impact of ultra-running, I integrate bike cross-training, allowing me to build massive aerobic capacity while giving my joints a break. It’s a holistic system built for the long haul.

With $20,000, I’d split the investment between high-end gear and world-class exploration. Half would go toward a "no-compromise" home gym: a commercial-grade power rack, specialty barbells for explosive power, and a premium treadmill for incline training during the off-season. The remaining $10,000 would fund a self-supported expedition to the high Andes or the Dolomites—covering logistics, remote permits, and deep mountain travel to test my limits on the world’s most iconic terrain.
