Dillon Osleger, The Soil Whisperer

Losing your mind with Chris Cosentino

When Dillion isn’t riding or sliding down the mountains he is constantly pushing people to look at the big picture of what they do in the world. The impact each person has on the environment that we all love to play in which in turn affects the long term of water, soil health and food production. All these things go hand in hand and Dillion is making sure we can all make better choices for the betterment of our world.
