Core Athlete Profile: Payton Dwight







Age: 28 years old
Occupation: Software Engineer
Why DPB: To me, DPB is a way of life. It’s about finding truths about yourself and the world. It’s about raising awareness. It’s a framework to help navigate stormy seas. It’s a community to celebrate raw triumphs. It’s a shrine to the human spirit.
Favorite challenge: Europe was my favorite trip. It was a joy to conquer the first two weeks with my brother in rotation, Drew. It was then a very rewarding experience to journey the next four weeks solo. It was my personal Odyssey - and it was epic.
Most difficult challenge: US Trip 1. Had to get cracked, simple as that. Difficult and necessary.
Next objective: My next goal is outside fitness. It is to launch my company. How you do anything is how you do everything. Bike while the biking is good, every day. After this, I’ll be on the next flight out to Mongolia.
