Welcome
I really started The Outdoor Gems to share outdoor experiences through photography and storytelling to inspire more people to get outside. If more people got outdoors; took a walk, hike, went snowboarding, sat around a campfire, and surfed in the ocean, I think the world would be a better place.

Greatest Places to Go
Taking a Trip to Moab Utah, the Ultimate Desert Guide
There’s just something about the desert that is intriguing. It’s much different than anything you’ll experience. Red clay, desert sunsets, giant rock structures, and vast canyons that will make one really appreciate this planet. There’s a lot of things to do in Moab inside and outside the National Parks from hiking to sky diving, riding dune buggies, fishing, and even rafting on the green river.

The feeling of traveling or going somewhere new always seems to give a sense of excitement or adventure.
Snowboarding and boardsports in general have been a passion of mine for over 20 years. I always loved the culture that came with it; from local retail shops to magazines and videos, to riding with friends as well as geeking out on the latest gear, it’s all part of the experience. After working in snowboard/outdoor gear shops for the past decade along with traveling to different outdoor places, I decided to put all of that experience in digital form to inspire and connect with other people.
