Atherium Bommarito is a former firefighter and paramedic who spent a decade serving his community in high-intensity medical and emergency response roles before making a bold life shift. After ten years of emotionally and physically demanding work, including time working in hospital settings in Detroit and front-line emergency service, he chose to resign in late 2025 and pursue a new chapter focused on travel, creativity, and intentional living. Alongside his time on the job, Atherium has always made videos, played piano, and found grounding in nature.

Titus Humphreys is an outdoor filmmaker and storyteller based in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. Originally from Papua New Guinea and Australia, he brings a unique, global perspective to the rugged landscapes he documents. After five years working as a ski technician and bike mechanic, Titus is currently transitioning into full-time content creation, building a dedicated following through his signature blend of cinematic visuals and grounded, honest narratives. His work is defined by a commitment to "attainable adventure," focusing on the real struggles and quiet beauty of the outdoors rather than just the extreme highlights. But behind the high-quality visuals is a story of profound persistence. In 2022, Titus set out to hike the Pacific Crest Trail, only to leave at mile 800 due to burnout and homesickness. In 2024, he returned to the Mexican border to face that "unfinished business" and rewrite his story from the ground up.

Ciaran Brayboy is the Co-founder of Skye Performance and a former Harvard basketball player who received over 30 Division I offers. Ciaran credits much of his competitive edge to the clean nutrition habits he grew up with in a functional-medicine household. When he arrived at Harvard, he was surprised by how processed and sugar-heavy most “performance” snacks were, which led him and fellow student-athlete Elisha to start making their own alternatives. What began as kitchen experiments eventually became Skye, a clean performance nutrition company built around real food, no artificial additives, and products they would actually eat themselves.
