What I blog about
My Story
My name is Ross.
While I was going to school for a Bachelor’s in Computing Science I worked at an outdoor store selling and testing jackets, hiking boots, kayaks and backpacks. I was hooked.
Now I work as an IT Project Manager implementing asset management, communication, GIS and tax systems for municipal governments.
I also write stories and take photos for PackandTrail.com, a website I founded in 2010 to help others get outside. I test gear, explore new trails and write stories about hiking, paddleboarding, running, biking and camping.
