Media + Marketing Advisor
After spending a decade chasing rivers in his kayak, Dave landed in Missoula, Montana, fascinated by the surrounding wilderness and multi-day river trips the west has to offer. While guiding, he witnessed first hand the value of adventures in wild places as a driver for transformative experiences and creative growth. He believes that combining these experiences with art, writing, and storytelling can become a powerful vehicle for conservation in today’s media-driven society. Now as an adventure photographer and filmmaker, Dave aims to create work that inspires people to get outside, to help them develop their own reverence for wild places, free flowing rivers, and public land. These days, he still spends as much time as he can outside, whether on the river, on the trails, in the snow, or in the mountains chasing elk and deer in his favorite landscape.

Carly grew up in Salmon, Idaho with a family that taught her the love of the outdoors, small-town community, and creativity. With parents who were wildland firefighters and journalists, and close family friends that were river outfitters, Carly was privileged to grow up with the message of reverence and advocacy of wild places. She graduated from the University of Montana in 2019 with a degree in psychology, and now does the seasonal hustle of wilderness river guiding in the summer in Idaho, Montana and Alaska, and a conglomeration of ski instructing, health and psychology projects/ research, and content creation in the winters out of Bellingham. She thinks it’s important to protect wild spaces, help with greater access to these spaces, and to look after the people who are working in and around them.
