What is Endless Rush Outdoors?
Endless Rush Outdoors was originally started as a ski blog. I’ve always been a gear nerd and spend way too much time researching and checking out new ski and biking gear. One day one of my ski friends pointed out that I’m the go to person whenever he needs to get something new. Endless Rush Outdoors was born out of a desire to spread our knowledge and enthusiasm for outdoor fun. We originally started as a skiing blog, we enough a lot of summer activities too such as paddleboarding, sailing, biking, and camping.
Our Mission
Our goal is to provide in depth gear reviews and how to articles to help you enjoy outdoor activities. We want you to feel like you have experienced and seen everything about a piece of gear after reading about it here. We provide lots of images and measurements and comparisons to help you understand which piece of gear is the best. We tend to be more beginner focused with most of our content. We understand that a lot of activities can be very intimidating to try the first time.

Founder & Chief Editor
I grew up back east in Pennsylvania and learned to ski on a family trip to Killington, Vermont when I was 6. I immediately fell in love with the mountains and have skied across the US and Canada on the east and west coasts and the midwest. I have a Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering and Reliability and am a complete gear nerd. Nothing excites me more than trying out something new. These days I reside in Michigan by the Great Lakes and do as much skiing in the winter and paddling and sailing in the summer.
