MEET YOUR GUIDE FOR THE JOURNEY:

Welcome to Out There.

Stoked you’re here! My name is Gary, your outdoor guide and adventure coach. Getting outside in meaningful and adventurous ways is what I do best and sharing those experiences with others is what I love most. 

Twenty years of traveling and adventuring (for both work & play) have taught me that transformation happens when I step out of comfort and into uncertainty—whether it’s in my career, family life, or personal projects. 

For me, nature offers a break from the chaos and provides space to reconnect with myself, think deeply about the story I want to live, and figure out the next right move. I created Out There to share those kinds of experiences and create those kinds of spaces for men like you.

I hope to see you out there.
-Gary
