Gary Owen
Instruction Programs Manager
I feel most alive when enjoying the beauty and power of nature through climbing, trail running, backpacking, and just being outside, especially with my incredible fiancee. What makes this job great is that I get to see that same fulfillment and excitement in the faces of others! I’ve been fortunate to work with awesome individuals and organizations and to lead outdoor trips all across the country, including climbing in Joshua Tree, backpacking the Grand Canyon, and summiting peaks across Colorado. My experiences as an adventure trip leader and educator (taught algebra 1 at Stratford High School) brought me to NSC, where I combine my passions for adventure and teaching. Hopefully, I’ll get to climb with you soon!
