#589 Re-Learning to Walk and Beyond - Featuring Bill Baker

From an upbringing in Central California to life now in northern Utah, Bill Baker has spent decades chasing adventure outdoors: road and mountain biking, climbing iconic spots like Yosemite National Park and Joshua Tree National Park, and living all-in on movement. In addition to his career in pharmaceuticals most of his life, he was a private pilot for 35 years. However, in early 2025, everything changed. After a spinal complication left him unable to walk, Bill didn’t back down. He set bold goals that he has already surpassed, defied expectations, and fought his way back onto a bike, eventually competing at the Huntsman World Senior Games in a 25-mile gravel biking race at just a fraction of his strength. Bill continues to rebuild, push, and chase new goals along with his wife, three sons, and four grandsons.
