The Real Deal (yes, we’ve done that…)

Heather Salzer-Devito has been an adventurer her whole life. Raised by inspiring parents, Heather was taught to go where you want to go, do what you want to do and be who you want to be. Well she has done all that and then some. After spending her time as a youth surfing, skateboarding, BMX racing, snowboarding, playing volleyball, soccer, softball, swimming, and running track, Heather has now competed in well over 50 adventure races all over the states and worldwide. She is currently pursuing personal goals as a triathlon racer.

Ted’s love of sports started at a young age in the suburbs of Chicago where he grew up. He ran cross country and played soccer in high school and even found the sport of ultimate Frisbee in college. Upon moving to Bear Bear, Ted dove into the world of endurance racing and has been improving his skills ever since. Ted has competed in adventure races, marathons and ultramarathon’s around the nation and the world. To balance the demand of starting a business, Ted reduced his participation in “ultra-distance” events and is targeting competitive times in the half-marathon.
