About Jeff Sanders
Jeff started working in the outdoor industry in 1993 and started his guiding career in 1998 as a hiking and biking guide in Alaska.

He studied the survival arts as a student and then progressed through the instructor ranks. He soon became the Field Director, which gave him responsibility for the operations of the school. Eventually, his path led him to the position of Program Director, through which he created additional programs for staff and course development. He continues with his passion for teaching and develops curriculum as well as instructs at gatherings and in the field whenever possible.
