About

At 10Adventures we are working to enable regular people to travel like the 1% do. We are bringing private, customizable active vacations to the mass market. Why the outdoors and travel? The outdoors provides so many benefits. Some are obvious, like improved physical health. Some are not as obvious, like more creativity, joy, happiness, improved mental health, and deeper relationships. Travel is critical to educating and connecting us as humans. Travel shows us that we are more alike than we are different. Together, travel + the outdoors is a kind of superdrug, providing education, health, empathy, and it is also great fun. We want to bring these types of experiences to everybody. Outside of work, I'm a lifelong traveler and outdoor adventurer myself. These days I am often busy building Legos with my sons, trying ever more adventurous recipes, reading (alas mostly Thomas the Train and Roald Dahl books) and going on adventures with my wife and three boys in the Rocky Mountains.
