About me
My name is Patrick Delorenzi and I am passionate videographer and endurance athlete.
I believe in fueling ourselves with nutrient rich foods, and filling our days with endurance training and racing, as a way to discover our deeper purpose in life, practice self realization, and advance out life.
My goal is to use film as a means to spread meaningful stories about extraordinary athletes and people from the globe.
If you love tips, reviews about ironman / trail running / adventure / unconventional lifestyles, subscribe to the channel to keep up with new vids!
