Tyler at Yellowstone National Park

My father raised me to appreciate nature. He would take me, my brother and sister into the outdoors consistently. He always had a way of making everything interesting so we would want to learn more. I spent nearly my entire childhood catching various critters and fishing with my dad. In my early 20’s the need for nature came back with a vengeance. I bought the FJ Cruiser and have been exploring as often as I can since. I moved to Colorado at age 24 to experience the Rockies.

In high school I was a video editor in my theater class, which at the time I liked to learn about, but never saw myself pursuing video work. Of course today that skillset has proven useful for my hobby of creating videos of gear and trips. Of course filming is the fun part, editing is the work.

Now I try to spend as much time exploring as possible along with my wife, Natalia. She was raised in similar fashion in the pacific northwest and is a travel nut. Her preferred method of travel is via a plane, but she never turns down a good road trip. She is wonderful.
