Ryan Hughes

Ryan Hughes recently graduated from Oklahoma State University with a degree in English and has since been unsuccessful in working his way into the business world, so he figured he might as well disappear into the backcountry. What better way to prove his worth to the business world than tackling bears and having staring contests with Big Horn Sheep?

In addition to his troubles finding a full-time position that is the least bit related to his coursework, Ryan has realized that he enjoys the fulfillment of exhaustion received only by physical labor, and thus has decided to devote himself to the natural world that has fascinated him for all of his life.

Ryan has also held a strong passion to spend time in the Pacific Northwest and is extremely excited to have the opportunity to travel to paradise and work to keep it that way. Who knows, he may never leave.
