While growing up around some pretty rough kids, Logan’s English teacher introduced him to a new sport that gave him more opportunities than he ever imagined. But winning championships wasn’t easy and would come at the price literally building from the ground up during Covid. Logan opens up by sharing he didn't have a lot of money and had to have certain box checks for college, and his advice to “don’t do what I did” in your decision-making process. It wasn’t and still even as a national champion isn’t always easy, but he believes you can do anything you want to if you work for it. This BMXer Basehead now strives to bring home a Medal for the USA and then go on to coach others. The power of people, the power of staying strong, and the power of just plain work.
