He produced and co-starred in the TV show Boundless, and is the founder of Adventure Science and co-founder of Stoked Oats.
Donato was born in Winnipeg, Manitoba, and grew up in London, Ontario, where he attended Oakridge Secondary School and earned a bachelor's degree in anthropology and a master's degree in geology from the University of Western Ontario; he also studied paleontology and wildlife biology.
[2] The first project was a week-long foot search by a team of extreme athletes in July 2008 on the California–Nevada border for Steve Fossett, who had gone missing on a solo flight on September 3, 2007.
Donato contracted with Josh and Jordan Eady of Eady Brothers Productions, whom he knew from Western Ontario, to produce the documentary Go Death Racer about his participation with Paul Trebilcock (whom he knew from McMaster) in the 2010 Canadian Death Race.
[1][7] Based on this and with the same team, he launched the television series Boundless, which followed Donato and Trebilcock as they traveled the globe competing in ultra-endurance races,[1][2][8] ranging from stand-up paddle boarding to running across the Sahara desert.
