Meet The Crew

Welcome to our lil' adventure!

Jake & Jill came together 18 years ago in the tiny town of Champaign, Illinois, where they soon bonded over their love of music, art and adventure. Ever since, these two have been pursuing a life of exploration and evolution. They were married in 2010, in a doughnut shop in Portland, OR (VooDoo Donuts). Their lives ventured to Boulder, Colorado where they continued their creative & athletic pursuits. Their indie-rock band recorded 2 full-length albums, with a third in the works and enhanced the Denver nightlife scene with their catchy folky-lyrics and psychedelic melodies before they moved on to sailing, all the while training to rock climb at a very elite-5.12/5.13-level.

Jake is extremely athletic, funny and adventurous marine veteran turned 5.13 climber and rockstar who has a talent for brilliant ideas. Jill is both savvy and artistic (musician, designer, business owner, photographer, sailor, author, chef) and can turn those ideas into reality. The dynamic duo has been living their life on the edge of the "norm" for so long, they can't imagine it any other way.

We've learned that what’s important in the adventure is how you get there, not necessarily what's been accomplished. That is adventure at its most beautiful and most pure. There is no other aim than the adventure itself.

This blog is a story of our new life as adventurers. It will be a crazy, honest and exhilerating adventure that should make for some interesting reading!
