Osborne Celestain, Executive Director

I am Osborne Celestain, Jr. I am retired from a thirty-five year career of the Offshore Oil and Gas Industry. I am founder of Cycling Tours  by Osborne and founder of Community Light Foundation.

I am a father and a grandfather. I am an avid Cyclist. One of my greatest pleasures in life is to ride bikes with my children and grandchildren.

I graduated from Tulsa Central High School, the last class to graduate from the PSO Building in downtown Tulsa, Oklahoma. I served three years in the United States Army and I graduated from Oklahoma State University of Technology in Okmulgee, Oklahoma.

In 2018, I was diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. After a regime of natural health treatment and cure of my cancer, I found a Freedom that had once been lost; I lost that life of working and that life of seeking to acquire material stuff. I became Free of my self-imposed shackles. I found the Freedom to shine my light, as bright as possible. I found that to live a life of Service is to live a life of Freedom. To be Free is to live your best life. I choose to live my best life. I choose to be a light in this life. 

This, is who I am.

Joel Kantor

"Investment Manager and Adventure Seeker at 62. Standing 5'9" with a fluctuating weight between 170-185 pounds, I spend 10 months training for whatever comes next and 2 months indulging. My limitations? Just height and cold weather - no Mt. Everest in my future! I'm a private pilot who ironically fears heights and a devoted cyclist despite my "Oklahoma flat-land legs." My family enjoys their mall time while I chase outdoor challenges, from Boundary Waters canoeing to cross-country cycling adventures. Not the fastest or strongest, but absolutely tenacious - once I start something, there's no quit in me."
