Jason Walker - Masters Cyclist

BIO:  Jason originally began racing bikes at age 13 but quickly gave up the sport when his family moved to Montana.  He turned his attention to tennis and twice earned academic All-America honors while playing for Washington State University.  Jason moved on to running and triathlons but it took witnessing a local race in Reno for him to get really inspired to race his road bike again.  That was 10 years ago.  Last year Jason won that local race, the Tour De Nez, as well as a national championship.  Jason says his true passion really lies in the dirt – not mountain biking but gardening.  “There’s something really liberating about growing your own food,” Jason says.  Jason and his wife Kerri have 2 sons, Louden 2.5 and Lander 9 months.

In Jason’s words:  “I’ve always been a bit of a health “freak” and when I stumbled upon Amazing Grass they seemed like the type of products that could support and enhance my lifestyle.  And they do.  I am so convinced Amazing Grass products have improved my cycling performance that I declared them during my drug test at the national championships this past year.  I knew all the ingredients were raw, natural and organic but I was imagining an abnormally high concentration of something that would make my result look odd.  I passed and so did Amazing Grass.”
