Mark Wilson spent the last ten years sifting through fact and fiction as a news reporter covering crime, public safety and local government in Central Texas. Now, he’s taking his hard-learned skepticism and love of the outdoors to the Gear Hungry team to help like-minded cyclists, climbers and other athletes find the best gear they need to perform at their peak, or simply find greater enjoyment outside.

Mark is an experienced mountain bike racer, rock climber and trail runner who dabbles in triathlons, obstacle course races, distance running and bikepacking. His wide array of experience in multiple sports is ideal for identifying the best gear for competitive athletes, or weekend warriors who value performance, but don’t want to break the bank.

Mark earned his bachelor’s and master’s degrees from Texas State University. He still maintains a passion for research and education, especially when it intersects with sports and the outdoors.

His no-stone-left-unturned attitude and ability to push gear to its limit help everyone find exactly what they need to meet their goals.
