When he's not trying to survive in the wilderness on reality television, Max Djenohan is an avid snowboarder with multiple sponsors. He has worked at Boardworks Tech Shop in Washington state since its inception, according to its official website. The Boardworks site also features several professional videos of Max snowboarding in the Pacific Northwest.
Max opened up to The Snowboarder's Journal about his experience being "pretty much the only Black kid at every competition" and diversity in the sport. "All the people of color represented by [REI] are sitting by a fire, literally doing the least. You have no top tier athletes showing," he said when asked about media representation. "Who said a collegiate basketball player couldn't be one of the top climbers on earth? Not being able to see yourself there, that's the barrier."
On top of being an athlete and survivalist, Max happens to be a nature photographer, selling many of his prints on his official website, where he says he "is seldom seen without a camera in his hand." Whether Max is in the middle of nowhere or close to home, it's clear that he is always eager for an adventure.
