My lifelong passion for the outdoors was first carved into the surf of Southern California, but it was the rugged allure of the mountains that truly captured my focus and ignited my professional path. As founder of the Mountain Weekly News, I translated this deep-seated connection into a globally respected gear review platform and media hub. We didn't just talk gnar; we built trust. Our authentic reviews drove north of 15mil+ in sales for outdoor brands, big and small. We interviewed legends like Laird Hamilton & Jeremy Jones, hosted the 'Everything Snowboarding & More Podcast,' and became the trusted source because we understood the soul of the industry and the pulse of mountain towns.
