Don Hudson

Don is our Creative Sparkplug, a Race Director & Clinic Instructor. He usually works closely on the ropes for all our events and is heavily involved with the creative stuff that must go on for each event. Don is normally a low key, behind the scenes guy at our events, but he is always there, doing the little things to make the event a success.

Don, 30, was raised in Davison Michigan and currently lives in Lake Orion. He works at Ingersol Rand in an inside sales / customer relations position. He is no stranger to the outdoors, spending most of his free time skiing, snowboarding, kayaking, rock climbing, mountain biking, hiking, camping, running, surfing and playing basketball.

In bringing all these diverse talents together, Don is a valuable asset to our group. He takes great joy in race course layout and design. As a recent college student, Don knows exactly how expensive this sport can be when you are on a budget. This is great for our racers, because he is always a proponent for keeping our event costs low.
