Samuel Brown

Born in the Midwest, and soon thereafter relocated to the West, Samuel was raised amidst the Rockies. Growing up, Samuel found himself feeling more at home skiing the trees than in the city. It quickly became his sole focus to ski as much as possible, for as long as possible. After taking up climbing while studying at the University of New Mexico, graduating in 2019, Samuel built out a van and took to the road, looking for big mountain adventures. During his time on the road, Samuel found a passion for putting his experiences into words, and he hasn’t stopped writing since.

In 2020, Samuel settled into a long term position, working as a firefighter. A perfect career for someone transfixed by the mountains, as it provides him with more than enough time (and healthcare) to pursue his passions in the outdoors.

Today, Samuel spends his summers climbing, mountain biking, and trail running. His winters are split between the resort, the backcountry, and taking courses to achieve his AMGA certifications, with hope of one day becoming an IFMGA Certified Mountain Guide.
