Who We Are

Jonathan Ages | Founder & Editor

Jonathan started BSC because he didn't think moving to New York City required him to give up skiing, sell his bike and put on the freshman 15. He created BSC to make it easier for him, his friends — and friends of friends — to get out and play more. Jonathan has written for the online arms of ABC News, Forbes Traveler, New York magazine, SPIN, VIBE and Radar. He has a Masters of Journalism and learned life's most important lessons at Whistler, living and skiing where 80s party flick Ski School was shot.

Jesse Brukman | Editor

Convinced by Jonathan that living in New York City didn't mean he couldn't learn to ski, bike and lose 15 lbs., Jesse joined BSC to enrich his and readers' lives. Jesse was an editor at Maxim magazine for five years and has written for Time Out New York, Men's Journal, UFC Magazine and others. His athletic highlights include breaking his hand while dismounting a Segway, and "sort of dunking that one time."

Brian Toomes | Web Manager

A veteran of Soccer.com, where he was an Online Content and Social Media manager, Brian has nearly a decade of web experience. In that time, and before answering the (recess) bell at BSC, he did everything from front-end development to SEO consulting. In a past life, Brian was a news director at a North Carolina radio station. These days, you can find him running in Prospect Park, hiking or muttering at the TV during a UNC basketball game.
