About the Author

Quest, J. J.: -

J.J. Quest, an avid lover of the great outdoors, is on a mission to inspire people of all ages to embrace nature and embark on exhilarating adventures. With a current passion for mountain biking, paddle boarding, RV camping, disc golf, skiing, and hiking, J.J. finds joy in the simple pleasures of life outside. In earlier years, J.J. was an extreme adventurer, summiting mountains and flying planes, but has since dialed back to enjoy more family-friendly pursuits.

J.J. is a dedicated parent of four, all of whom share a zest for the outdoors, camping, mountain biking, racing cars, and traveling the world. This diverse array of interests keeps the family actively engaged with nature and each other.

"Mastering Mountain Biking" was J.J.'s first book, born out of a lifelong love for cycling. With extensive experience in mountain biking events, mentoring friends, and weekly family bike adventures, J.J. now enjoys riding e-MTBs due to arthritis. The book aims to encourage others to keep riding into their later years using e-MTBs, proving that age and injuries are no barriers to adventure.

J.J.'s second book, "The Anxiety Solution", aims to empower others with practical advice from personal life experiences. Overcoming family crises, parenting challenges, and individual fears, J.J. inspires readers to embrace life's adventures and live vibrantly, refusing to let anxiety overshadow joy and growth.
