 Brent's
easy-going nature is combined with a life-long passion for challenging himself
and others in the outdoors. At an early age, Boy Scouts activities (he's
an Eagle Scout) and family trips took him to over forty states, the bottom
of the Grand Canyon and hundreds of other incredible outdoor destinations.
As a result, the seed to explore and protect these gems grew strong. While
still a student at Otterbein College, Ohio, Brent thru-hiked the Appalachian
Trail. After graduation from college, Brent went west to teach at High Trails
Outdoor Science School, where he aspired to instill good stewardship for
the Earth in the minds of California's youth. A summer in Alaska's wilderness
blended into a fall teaching environmental education in New England, and
work with the Wilderness Management Unit at Glacier National Park, Montana
are just a few of his outdoor accomplishments. On his quest to see it all,
Brent has visited 50 states and 9 provinces and continues to relish the
discovery of new places to hike, paddle, and explore. |
 Amy
is a natural leader, teacher, and enthusiastic guide, equally at home in
front of an audience as she is on the trail. A Delaware native, Amy's fondest
childhood memories take place at her grandparents' home on the Chesapeake
Bay where she spent weekends and summers sailing, paddling, and biking.
While Amy knew the freedom of open space early on, it was while taking part
in the Hurricane Island Outward Bound course that she heard the true "Call
of the Wild." A second course with the Colorado Outward Bound School
and her future in the outdoor industry became clear. She went on to earn
a degree in Outdoor Education and Natural History from Northland College
in Ashland, Wisconsin. While in college Amy honed in on her winter survival
skills, spent her summers leading backpacking trips in the Blue Ridge Mountains
and completed a semester NOLS course in Alaska. Since graduating college,
Amy has worked as a park interpreter, teacher, and naturalist for a variety
of outdoor programs nationwide. Amy has spent much of her time as a professional
encouraging people to connect to the natural wonders surrounding them, knowing
that this connection will help people build an understanding and desire
to protect and preserve the environment. |
