My Story
Hi, I’m Max, the founder of My Outdoor Basecamp. I grew up in New Hampshire, where I developed a love for the outdoors. My journey started with completing the NH 48, which inspired me to create a resource for adventurers like you.
Since then, I’ve embraced challenges like Colorado’s 14ers, the high-exposure WURL in Utah, and competed in my first ultra race, the 100-mile Run Rabbit Run. Along the way, I’ve gained thousands of days of backcountry experience in hiking, trail running, backcountry skiing, fishing, and backpacking.
My professional background as a guide and marketing strategist allows me to combine my love for nature with a commitment to delivering value to this community. I’m passionate about helping others discover the joy of outdoor adventure, no matter where they are in their journey.
