Which of Stio's values personally align to you?

Outside is for Everyone. The thing I love most about river guiding is showing others a life outdoors. I get to introduce many people to their first night out camping and see people from all walks of life flourish when being immersed in nature for a week. There’s an innate human connection to nature, and it’s amazing to watch people find that.

How do you create balance in your daily life?

The balls are always in the air! And I try to make sure they aren't knives. I'm lucky to live in a place with amazing access to skiing, biking and running. Getting out to play every day helps me to prioritize work and the rest of my life. I simply work better when I get to move. Little ideas become big ones on a skin track, singletrack, or even in the singles line. Connections happen in my brain that I would never find at a desk.

What is a bucket list activity you have yet to do or a place that you have yet to go?

I get to do so many cool things and trips and feel very grateful for that. But, extended time in South America keeps coming up on my want-to-do list: kite in Brazil, rivers in Peru, explore the Andes.

What is your go-to workout music?

Shoop by Salt N Pepa.

What is a piece of advice you would give to someone who wants to pursue a life of mountain sports and adventures?

You don't need to know where you're going, just start walking.
