My name is Ari Dennis. I grew up in the mountains of Colorado, in a house that was off the grid. Growing up, my brother and I didn't have a TV or video games, so we spent most of our time playing sports and curating our own adventures. Throughout my life, I have continued to stay active, whether that's kayaking, surfing, skiing, climbing, or anything else, and I continue to have a love for being outside. More recently, I have pursued kayaking at a high level, graduated from California Polytechnic State University, SLO with an undergraduate degree in mechanical Engineering, and taken up an interest in Film and photography. I enjoy thinking, solving problems, teaching, learning, spending time with friends, and staying active.
