More Episodes

I have been wanting to do this for a while ... even though I'm not sure him or the others in The OCR Report believed me!

It's Jack Goras, the guy behind the camera at pretty much every major OCR that has happened in Europe or North America in the past 5 or so years!

We haven't had much time to talk in the past when covering events since we are usually busy doing interviews while he is taking pictures and editing. However we did get to hang out more at World's Toughest Mudder last year since it was a 24+ hour event, we shared a room at the air bnb, and he hung out at the bar crawl.

This was my way of getting to know more about him, so now you can also get to know him!

We talk about photography, his favorite places that he has been, how he ended up being the photographer for The OCR Report, some travel nightmares, how he is going back to Ukraine to help yet again, and much more!
