Josh Geiser

Josh was born and raised in Indiana, spending his youth playing tennis and learning to ski on the small slopes of southern Indiana. Internships and school gave him the opportunity to move further west, where he first discovered his passion for the mountains. A Midwestern flatlander for the first half of his life, Josh was eager to make up for lost time in the mountains, filling his free time climbing new peaks. He is passionate about learning new skills, whether in the mountains or in school, and enjoys helping others find their own love of the outdoors. Josh holds bachelor’s and master’s degrees in aeronautical/astronautical engineering. When not in the mountains, he enjoys trail running, endurance sports, playing piano, and learning martial arts.
