The Running Optimist making radio contacts atop a local peak in Utah

This image captures a lot of who I am and what you can expect to see from Impact Productions. I’m Brian,, the Running Optimist. I hope to provide photographic story telling about contemporary concerns that affect all of us (politics and governance at local and global levels) as well as expositions related to the outdoors and adventurous activities, some captures of interesting photo subjects, discussion and writings of a bucket list of other things that are important to KemperFi Impact Productions: conserving outdoor recreational areas, triathlon, running, scuba, and mountain biking.

Follow me on Twitter for outputs related to sports and adventure topics here or you can follow me here for outputs related to more intellectual topics like international relations and the like. I’m a HAM radio operator and am sporadically active when I’ve got time, check out KC3NPM on Twitter if you’d like. I belong to a great club, the Ogden Amateur Radio Club. They’re a highly knowledgeable and active group with the many repeaters along the Wasatch front as well on HF bands. Check out the site if you want to learn more about them or get your HAM ticket.
