Lathan McKay

Lathan McKay's Evel Archaeology Lathan McKay, Co-Founder of the Evel Knievel Museum, CEO of Evel Knievel Enterprises, a.k.a. Color Me Lucky, is the collector, curator and preeminent historian on Evel Knievel-the most notorious daredevil in modern times. While researching and amassing the world's most complete collection of EK memorabilia, McKay has also worn many hats as co-producer and executive producer of films, both narrative and documentary, an impresario of events, a screenwriter, actor, entrepreneur and "manifestor." Becoming a professional skateboarder at just 14, Lathan McKay found that wheels were to take him down many roads to self-discovery. He earned his keep by traveling across America as a pro boarder for 10 years under the name Erik McKay.
