In 2023, I rode my bike across the United States! I hope you enjoy it!

Help me reach my goal of $10,000 by contributing to the following GoFundMe. All donations will go directly to the Sierra Nevada Alliance.

-Fundraiser Info:
Starting in May 2024, I will be hiking 2,650 miles from the border of Mexico to the border of Canada along the Pacific Crest Trail. I will be using the story to help raise money for the Sierra Nevada Alliance. This nonprofit organization focuses on protecting and preserving the natural landscapes and ecosystems of the Sierra Nevada.

For more information about this fundraiser, please visit my website:

If you are interested in reading more about my cross-country ride, feel free to visit my blog: www.alchemy-lab.org/blog
Here, you will find many additional stories not featured in the film. Furthermore, I will be posting weekly updates of my upcoming adventure so that you can follow along from home!

-What is Alchemy Lab?
Alchemy Lab is a small business that focuses on using inspirational stories to help nonprofit organizations expand their horizons. I started the business after completing my transcontinental bike ride in 2023, and I am excited to finally be announcing my first partnership with the Sierra Nevada Alliance!

  • If you feel as though you have seen some of this footage before, it's because you have! This is an extended-cut version of my "Crossing the Continent" film that I posted last year. I repurposed the footage to help promote my fundraiser for wilderness conservation! (Info in the description). Thanks for watching!

    “I did it because I wanted to” too. Then I did I again, 3 more times. What a great experience to see the US at 10 mph on a bike. Great video, thanks for sharing.

    Thanks for sharing your experience. Amazing journey. Recently I had the opportunity to ride a 300 plus ride in Florida and it brought back memories when I saw your expression when you reached the Pacific Ocean. Best wishes on your upcoming journeys
