About Me
Hey, I’m Bill Martin. I’m usually out on the trails or, well, hitting the jumplion š Due to my recent discovery of who I truly am, I realized I need to come up with a different ‘About Me’ page. I’ve stopped pretending to fit in, and life is a lot more interesting that way.
A “Normal” Start
I grew up in Roundup, Montana, where cattle outnumber people and the Bull Mountains (really just hills) shaped my childhood. I ran cross-country, hated school, and tried to fit the neurotypical mold. I became a competative mountain bike racer then I got a degree and landed a coding job at Sikorsky Aircraft, working on the Comanche Helicopter Project. But I was always daydreaming about the mountains.
The Mountains Called
After three years in Connecticut, I headed back to MontanaāMissoula this time. I kept coding at MARS Stout Inc., but now I had the trails to balance out life. TNR (Thursday Night Ride) became my tribeāa crew of friends who mixed tough rides with good times.
It all started in 2010 at an Adventure Cycling holiday party, with a bit of Michael Jackson dance inspiration. Team MoBill was bornāa journey of rides, adventures, and finding love with Mo. From grueling climbs to unforgettable moments, we forged a partnership built on resilience and joy.
2024: Divergent Awakening
A friend once told me I was different and suggested I read Jonathan Livingston Seagull. I read it, and I understood.
This year, I dropped the mask for good. I’m neurodivergent, and The Divergent Mountain Biker is more than a nicknameāit’s who I am.
If you’re looking for my resume, it’s around here somewhere. But wouldn’t it be more fun to talk trails or tech instead? Welcome to my journey.
