    Eduardo Garcia

    Eduardo Garcia is a chef, outdoorsman, athlete and motivational speaker & the co-founder of a national food brand, Montana Mex. During a Montana backcountry hike in October 2011, Eduardo was electrocuted by a buried high voltage power source, where he suffered extensive, life-threatening injuries and had to have his arm amputated.​

    Today, five years after his​ experience,​ Eduardo is the subject of the award winning feature length documentary “Charged”​ and is​ working on a number of media projects including “A Hungry Life” ​- ​a ​TV​ concept which follows him into the wild places of the world as he creates exceptional food over a campfire ​- ​and is on a personal mission to help those who are dealing with trauma. He is a spokesperson and athlete for the Challenged Athletes Foundation, a NGO that provides support to people with physical disabilities so they can pursue active lifestyles.

    To unwind Eduardo spends his time at home in Montana,​ ​tending to his garden, collecting fresh eggs from his chickens and roaming the hills with his family.
