Meet Our Team

Reid

Owner/Designer

Reid has been in the adventure industry since he was a kid living year-round at summer camps, working with their challenge course, horse stables and wilderness camping trips.  As an adult, he put in his time for a four-year degree, tried a traditional career for about 6 months, then got sucked into the design and construction of tree-based elements.  He has built Canopy Tours, Zip Lines, Treehouses and Suspension bridges throughout the US and Canada.  His passion for design and problem solving have led to patented designs and innovations in tree attachments.  When he isn’t working, he enjoys wilderness canoe trips, playing hockey and inventing.

Brian

Sales/Development

Brian started his working career from a young age helping his parents at their family-owned hotel in Central Minnesota. After living in Alaska for over a decade he moved back to Minnesota where he now helps people understand yurts, treehouses and the build process.  When he isn’t working, he and his family enjoy hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, and all of the other outdoor activities his area has to offer.
