Phoenix is a 19 year old student at the University of Southern California from San Diego who believes that mental fitness deserves the same attention as physical fitness. Through endurance sports, he discovered that resilience, confidence, and purpose are built through small, consistent actions, and he wants to help others experience that same transformation.

Over the next 100 days, Phoenix will document his journey to Ironman California while sharing conversations, lessons, and stories that encourage people to prioritize their mental well being. Along the way, his goal is to raise $10,000 for Quest, a nonprofit dedicated to strengthening the mental fitness of young adults and college students.

The funds raised will help expand Quest's impact, including bringing Quest's mental fitness model to the University of Southern California so more students have access to a community where no one has to face life's challenges alone.
