A small core team, strong advisors, and a deep bench of volunteers who keep showing up, trip after trip.
Founder · Executive Director
Startup veteran whose career began with World Vision Relief. Father of a son with autism and epilepsy. Found his own outdoor compass on California beaches and Southwest backcountry trails — and built Outside the City in 2022 to share it.
Creative · Outreach
Three decades in advertising, marketing, and video production. Avid surfer and mountain biker. Believes the outdoors is the most honest mentor a person can have.
Controller
Finance and accounting lead with a background managing a $50M California company. University of Arkansas grad and Afghanistan veteran. Walks five miles a day, every day.
Advisor
Strategic advisor helping shape OTC's growth, partnerships, and long-term mission.
We work with wilderness guides, team builders, endurance athletes, lifeguards, surfers, mountain bikers, and active seniors. Our volunteers are the heartbeat of every program — they show up at the trailhead at 6 a.m. and they keep showing up.
