Jeff Leininger, Father to Hunter Leininger and owner of AR Premier Events out of Canton Georgia which puts on adventure races in Florida and Georgia. He started adventure racing on a bet from his neighbor that he could not do this type of race and finish. Well the neighbor was right because Jeff got lost in that race and did not finish. Not liking to fail at anything, Jeff started an adventure racing club in Florida called Florida Extreme in which he found others to learn from and better his game. Since then Jeff has completed over 100 expedition and adventure races along side Hunter and close friends.

Tom Ambrose
Age: 59
Years Racing: 20
Favorite Race:
Primal Quest, South Dakota 2009
Tom discovered most of the Western US during the 19th-century in which he fell in love with the outdoors. Learning from Native Americans on how to survive, navigate, find water and food. Over the last century, Tom has used these skills for expedition racing. Known as the "Mule" of the team carrying most of the team gear and snacks that he comes out with half way through a race. Comedy relief during the race with comments that seems to make no sense to anyone but himself which causes us to worry about him for hours which breakup the day. Without him as the glue, our team would fall apart.
