Osborne Celestain, Executive Director

I am Osborne Celestain, Jr. I am retired from a thirty-five (35) 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 (3) years in the United States Army. 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."

Steve Palmer

Steve has a passion for enhancing people's lives in Oklahoma and across the nation. As a young child care worker, he was instrumental in finding forever homes for children in foster care. As a youth minister, He and his wife, Heather, helped families grow in their faith. In the last decade, Steve's focus has been improving lives through riding bikes. Currently he is the Tulsa regional manager at Phat Tire Bike Shop, promoting the notion that "Cycling Experiences Change Lives." Steve feels that riding bikes is not just about having fun, it promotes good health, reliable transportation, employment opportunities and community spirit.
