TAMARANCHO REPORT

The Tamarancho MTB trails are some of the most popular in the bay area. When Bennett moved to Fairfax, he noticed the need for a better resource for the community to know when the trails were open and what conditions they were in. This idea turned into the Tamarancho Report, a web platform and social media presence that gives the community reliable real time information of the current weather conditions as well as trail status.

MTB ADVOCATE

Bennett is currently on the board of directors of Access4Bikes, who’s mission is “To advocate for trail access, champion world-class singletrack, and engage our communities for better mountain biking in Marin.”

Bennett volunteers on the trails, on the tech stack and co-leads the trail committee.

WILDLIFE PHOTOGRAPHY

Everyone had a pandemic project, Bennett’s was the family of foxes that lived under his front porch in Golden CO. You may know them from greatest hits like Johnny runs into a sliding door.

This was the LookoutMountainFoxes now renamed MtTamFoxCam and has expanded into documenting the wildlife in the Bay Area. With the occasional Johnny cameos.

THRIVER NOT A SURVIVOR

Throughout Bennett’s life, resiliency has proven his most valuable asset. As a kid he was diagnosed with ADHD and Dyslexia, he taught himself to code and has made a career in tech that spans the life of the internet.

As an adult Bennett has conquered serious medical traumas. Battling multiple pulmonary embolisms, a heart attack and open heart surgery. Bennett’s challenges don’t define him, he lives his life to it’s fullest and has a passion for everything he puts his focus towards.
