Let’s GO ELEVATION CULTURE! I found it! In the EC Archives, a blast from the past. Our Team trip to @sanjoaquinrunning where we experienced all things trail and road tripping. Our brother @stvn.snchz crushing it with the video work. So much fun! Remember our movie premiere? @victormaisano @benjaminamata @davis.harrison @kajazza @mountainmama_dani @daniellatalento @smoerbartow @mcolmenero87

HANDCRAFTED by ATHLETES. Rounding out my appreciation for the ones that made it all possible. Without the dedicated and hard working EC Team we could not have created and the first US Made company handcrafting for over 900 events across the country and overseas each year. I am forever grateful and miss your faces! It is possible and you can build a future with the right people by your side. Cheers to all the made Elevation Culture after 10 years what it is today. ❤️ @whalen146 @victormaisano @benjaminamata @mountainmama_dani @smoerbartow @daniellatalento @kajazza @alex.stj07 @davis.harrison @kaitlinreed_ @mcolmenero87 @woogiefresh @chrisleoagen @rachelnaranjo @all_the_trails_for_me @duncan_ellson_art @stvn.snchz

We don’t always have the ANSWERS, but we can LEARN and have a little BELIEF to create the unimaginable. The first ever video I created and the first handcrafted all wood belt buckle made in 2016 in a rented out co-working space. Thank you @rainshadowrunning for believing in me and giving me a chance! @poebuilt remember those shop days.

Just START! They said it couldn’t be done, they said NO, they said you’re crazy. Well here we are 10 years later feeling elevated. Another look back at the beginning of EC circa 2015…quitting my job, doing something no one had ever done, maxing out my credit card, renting my first 400 sq ft shop on the 5th story of an old moving company building, sleeping in my shop to make it all work, sacrificing relationships, and going all in. A lifetime of lessons earned with sacrifice, heart, and never ever giving up. 📸 @cody.kaemmerlen (1-3)

The FIRST STEP….. the original artwork that started it all. Simple and proud to display my @san_diego_100 belt buckle. Still on the wall reminding me of where we all start.

CHASING DREAMS creating a NAME. We take a look back at the origin and how EC all started. It all started with a piece of wood and a pen. Elevation Culture started in a small apartment in San Diego, CA in 2014 with the marrying of my two passions: running and art. Creating hand drawn elevation profiles of our accomplishments kicked off what would become the first of its kind. I never knew the heart and dedication to just doing what I loved would turn into this. So much more of EC journey to share….

Remember to DANCE! We love to boogie and get shakin it at our biddiest TRAIL PARTY of the year. The Lake Hodges Trail Festival is here on October 18th-19th 2025. Let’s GO! 🙌🏻🔥

Our FAMILY, your FAMILY, we are all FAMILY NOW. We continue our appreciation for our amazing team and volunteers that help make your day truly a day to remember. ❤️ We appreciate you! @ignite_fitness_performance
