Instructor Bios:

 

I am a wife and mother of four children as well as the Payroll Director for FireFly Automatix, Inc. My oldest son introduced the family to the DHS mountain bike team 11 years ago and I found my passion for mountain biking and teaching women to mountain bike. I realized a long time ago that women learn differently and have to feel in control when biking. I have coached with the high school teams in the Kaysville area for 11 years and will continue as long as I can. I love the mountain biking community and the amazing relationships and respect for nature that have come through biking.

Erika is an instructor and coach with a passion for helping riders build confidence, skills, and a love for mountain biking. She’s always loved biking since she was a kid, but took up mountain biking seriously as an adult, and it quickly became a major part of her life. Now in her 9th season coaching with the Davis High Mountain Bike Team, Erika has over 10 years of riding experience and has raced in the I-Cup and Snowbasin Midweek series. She enjoys both mountain and road biking, and especially values the friendships and community that have come through the sport. Off the bike, you’ll find her practicing yoga, hiking, and adventuring outdoors with her family and friends, including her husband and three kids.

Instructor Bio:

I am the mother of three kids whose favorite thing is taking my little ones with me on trips and outdoor adventures. Despite the inconveniences of travel with a 6 year old, 5 year old, and four month old, our first trip to Iceland lit a fire in my husband and me, and we never looked back. Several countries later, and always plans for more, we have ridden a double decker bus in London, watched sloths climb through trees in the rain in Costa Rica, explored an old Russian toy museum in Lithuania, and spent St Patrick’s day in small-town in  Ireland. Maybe the only thing I personally love more than exploration is connecting with other humans.

Professionally, I love getting to know people through photography. I was a wedding and lifestyle photographer for several years, and I like to call my style of photography “noticing.” I recently put aside taking pictures as a profession, to follow a path of self-discovery and healing.

 I just received my 200-hour yoga teacher training from an Ashram in Hawaii, and am so excited to incorporate asana and meditation into our adventures. I recently became Wilderness First Responder certified and feel equipped in a backcountry setting.

 I used to wonder how I would ever incorporate all the things I love into something meaningful in my life. When Amy approached me about this business, I felt immediately in my core, “this is what you’ve been waiting for.” And I couldn’t be more thrilled to be a part of your own journey of connection and growth.

Instructor Bio:

I grew up in Cincinnati, amidst green rolling hills, humid mosquito-filled summers, and the most awesome thunder storms. While my friends hung at the mall on summer weekends, my dad insisted on dangling my siblings and I off cliff-sides to learn the basics of repelling. My parents were big fans of good old-fashioned fun and we spent lots of family time camping, hiking, rock climbing, and learning to water ski off  “Old Smokey”, our endearing sparkly ‘80’s boat that is still kickin’.

Now as parents to three little ladies, my husband, Scott, and I love adventuring with them and introducing them to every outdoor activity under the sun. It is such a thrill to watch them develop skills and confidence outside.

Our favorite family adventures have included snorkeling with sea turtles in Puerto Rico, staying at an organic farm in Costa Rica, hiking with wildflowers in the Rocky Mountains, yurt-camping along the southern coast of the Everglades. We are huge fans of National Parks and you bet we have quite the collection of Junior Ranger badges.

At any point in time, I have at least four family trip itineraries planned in my back pocket, just in case we can sneak something in. :)

While living in Page, I was on the founding board of Glen Canyon Outdoor Academy, bringing outdoor-based education to elementary school students in the area. 

I’m convinced that most people are good, and the world is absolutely spilling over with amazing experiences and places. 

One of my very favorite things is introducing people to new places and experiences, so I am thrilled to bring you along on this journey! Can’t wait to see you on the trail!
