Rockhopper grew up in the local San Luis Obispo County of California. Having experienced the outdoors through Boy Scouts and reaching Eagle Scout, Rockhopper continued their journey to new adventures. They learned a lot about cultures and languages and ended up living in Germany and South Korea. This experience was enriching for Rockhopper, not only to learn the culture and language of the country, but also to experience the glorious outdoors in each country. After being away for sometime, Rockhopper hopped back to California and found the opportunity to work for the Outdoor School.
