Tell us about yourself and how many books you have written.
This is my second book. The first was a photo tips ebook I wrote a few years ago.
What is the name of your latest book and what inspired it?
The book is Trails to the Top and it was inspired by all the great guests who come on my podcast, The Outdoor Biz Podcast. I’m an avid Outdoor Adventurer with a 30 plus year career in the outdoor industry. I’ve held leadership roles with iconic brands such as Montbell, Eagle Creek, JanSport Dana Design and Lowepro and am the founder, producer, and host of The Outdoor Biz Podcast. I believe achieving success in the outdoor biz is dependent upon embracing the outdoor lifestyle and learning from outdoor leaders that came before you. In addition to podcasting, I help outdoor and adventure brands, retailers, and outfitters grow their business through podcasting.
