Described 3 ways: She’s Jewish, the middle child & blonde. Brit was deprived of seasons growing up in Southern CA, so she landed in CO in 2003 and has called it home ever since, graduating CU Boulder with a BA in Communication. Brit loves crime documentaries on serial killers, lake life, anything with water or heights & adventure vacations. In her free time she’s boarding, and in the summer might be the only person in Vail playing around on her stand-up Jet Ski.

Kevin was born in Austin, TX, grew up in the Midwest, and has worked with Sage for 10 years. He has guided rivers for about 15 years, including New Zealand and Mexico. Kevin also likes to travel in the off-season, SCUBA dives, rides bikes and motorcycles, and owns lots of fireworks. As a special bonus, he speaks terrible Spanish.

Victoria hasn’t written a bio, so we’ll just say that she loves shopping for outfits in Texas.

G-money is a sweet southern bumpkin from South Carolina. His gentle voice and soothing tone will make a mountain lion purr and put your baby to sleep. Join Garrett in the outdoors for the smoothest trip you could dream of.

Anders has been involved in the adventure tourism industry for most of his life, spending time as a raft guide, snowmobile guide, scuba diving instructor and ski instructor. Anders grew up mainly in Sparta, New Jersey, and has been living in Colorado since 2010. He attended CSU where he received a Masters Degree in Tourism Management.

After his studies Anders moved to the Philippines and worked as a Marine Biologist and Marine Conservationist. There he helped to construct a provincial Philippine law based on carrying capacities for diving and snorkeling sites to better the quality of life of the locals as well as reduce impacts on coral sites, ultimately increasing visitor experiences above and under the surf.

On days off, Anders can be found skiing and hiking the amazing Colorado wilderness as well as rafting his personal boat down the many amazing rivers the west has to offer. Anders is also passionate for scuba diving and plans to open his own dive shop/ecotourism resort in the future.

After growing up in Kansas Adam’s love of fly fishing brought him to Colorado where he went to college. After graduating and leaving to work as a fisheries biologist for a stint he’s back in the mountains introducing people to some of the things he’s passionate about, be it fly fishing, rafting, or snowmobiling.

Marek loves traveling which has taken him to 13 countries across 5 continents. His love for the outdoors lead Marek to Colorado for its epic mountain biking and hiking in the summer. When Marek isn’t driving you around town this winter you will catch him on the slopes snowboarding or alpine touring this winter. Marek has been in Colorado for 8 years now and found his favorite place to be is Crested Butte, CO.

They call me “The Hammer”

Hannah was born and raised in the outdoor tourism industry in South Alabama operating sailboats across the Gulf Coast. After surviving a degree in Public Relations, sailing halfway around the world, and a pandemic, she traded her beach lifestyle for the mountains. Hannah now enjoys snowboarding, rafting, and watching the Kansas City Chiefs. What a pivot! In May of 2022, Sage scooped her up from a soul sucking corporate job to come back to the industry that she is passionate about. After guiding across different outlets around the country, she now guides guests towards the best tour for them! Call Hannah today to make your reservation!

Favorite quote “Jobs fill your pockets, but adventures fill your soul.”

Brian is a local who grew up in the Vail Valley and went to college in Durango, Colorado. He’s worked with Sage for 5 years and loves his job. He loves kayaking during the summer where you can find him shredding the gnar with his brother.

Anita has worn many “hats” throughout her life. Most notably as wife, mother of two, step mother and step grandmother. With over thirty years of experience in the accounting field, plus several other ventures, she is able to quickly and accurately make reservations for our guests that accommodate their many different needs. Anita, husband Chris and fur baby Banjo have a passion for traveling and that is what brought them to Sage Outdoor Adventure and the beautiful Rocky Mountains.

Dave moved to Colorado in 2013 and hasn’t looked back. He lives for the Summers and loves the Fly Fishing Program at Sage. When he’s not working or fishing he’s snowshoeing with his wife and dog.
