Oliver Kendall
Oliver grew up in Charleston, South Carolina, where a love of the outdoors eventually drew him west to the Rocky Mountains. He earned degrees in History and Computer Science from Colorado College, spending much of his time outside the classroom exploring Colorado's mountains and developing a passion for climbing, skiing, and backcountry travel.
Throughout high school and college, Oliver led backpacking expeditions in the Absaroka and Beartooth Mountains near Cody, Wyoming, helping introduce others to wilderness travel while building a strong foundation in leadership and risk management. Those experiences inspired him to pursue a career in the mountains.
Oliver currently lives in Kelly, Wyoming, and spends his time off exploring the Tetons by foot, ski, or rope whenever conditions allow.
