Andrew Alexander King is on his way to becoming the first African-American climber to accomplish the seven summits and the world’s seven tallest volcanoes.

He was recently named Outside Business Journal’s 20 Most Influential People in the Outdoor Industry, and we are proud to call him our award-winning ambassador.

Founder of Ground Up Adventures, Shelby Mann has been professionally guiding hikes and educating about outdoor safety for those visiting (or living in) Colorado. With thousands of hiking miles under her belt and a resume of wilderness certifications, she is always keen to share tools with those she guides to feel confident in the outdoor space.

Jeff’s trail name, Legend, speaks to his historic feats of breaking insane records and inspiring those around him to find their “why” in the outdoors. His resume includes being a Calendar Year Triple Crown Hiker, hiking the PCT, AT, and the CDT in one year; breaking the John Muir Trail record by finishing in 3 days, and holding over 18 Fastest Known Time (FKT) records all over the United States and Costa Rica.

Born and raised in Western Montana, Amanda spent her childhood on her family's ranch, riding horses. After moving to Portland, Oregon for college, Amanda decided that if she couldn't ride her horses regularly, a natural next step was to get on a motorcycle - a fun and less expensive way to travel back home for routine visits.

Amanda's love of cooking was inspired by growing up in a household of 6 kids. Her mom made sure that as soon as the kids could climb the counter, they could cook something in the microwave for when they were hungry!

Now, Amanda moto-travels across the country, and beyond, sharing her passion for riding, traveling and cooking!
