About Brian

• I grew up rafting with my parents and realized from a young age that whatever I ended up doing, I wanted it to be outdoors.
• After high school, I worked as a river guide on the Salmon River in Idaho.
• I earned my bachelor’s degree in parks, recreation, and leisure studies from the University of Idaho—the major opened my eyes to a wider range of activities beyond river guiding.
• After graduating, I moved to Big Sky, Montana, for one winter and realized how much I enjoyed the mountains.
• I then moved to Washington and worked in outdoor education for kids—I liked the impact I could make in that space, so I decided to move to Hong Kong to continue with outdoor education.
• When I moved back to the U.S., I got involved with adaptive sports—I taught ski lessons to people with disabilities and found a passion for helping others accomplish the sport.
• I earned my master’s degree in movement and leisure science, and then spent a few years working for a physical therapy program in Utah while my wife pursued her degree.
• My wife and I both found opportunities to do what we love in Wyoming, so we moved to Jackson, where I currently work as the adaptive supervisor for Jackson Hole Mountain Resort.
