I love gear, but I don’t find my identity in it. My gear doesn’t define me or what I can do. However, gear does provide me with awesome opportunities to express myself or convey a message in a multitude of ways. I do not endorse any company or product, but I am proud to use everything that I have. I hope that the list below serves as a great resource for everyone. — Miguel Monroy
