Mountain
The mountains have always been my second home. As a life-long resort and backcountry skier I have a deep network of personal friends here. As a ski instructor I have relationships with mountain guides and fellow professional instructors.River
Water captivated me early in life. Beginning as a whitewater boater my connections have grown from that community and now include sea kayakers and rafters. The addition of fly-fishing to my river activities has brought me close to guides and other fishermen.Trail
I've traveled many trails across the globe and made many friends along the way. My network includes everyone from long distance hikers to casual weekenders. My work with bike packs has brought me close to the MTB community. Years as a snowshoe designer have connected me with every part of that sport.Camp
For this we'll just say that I know people. Everyone camps. Some of us do it in a van near our favorite trail and others in a bivy high on a ledge. I know more campers, hard-core or casual, than I can count.Show More
