Travis Brown has been working in outdoor education since 2012. Whether he is teaching participants how to build wilderness shelters or get two-wheels off the ground on their bikes, his passion for the outdoors drives his work. Growing up in Minnesota, he found that the most important part of outdoor recreation is the people you do the activities with.

Travis has been an instructor trainer since 2018, running programs for the Boy Scouts, REI, and the National Center for Youth Development and coordinating live events for RLC Coaching. He also founded the coaching program for the Arrowhead Bike Farm in the New River Gorge, West Virginia.

Travis is also in charge of our Talks with Travis page. These “talks” bring coaches from across the world together so that we can all grow in our coaching and personal riding.

Travis has now found his way back to Minneapolis but still gets to spend a lot of time on the road. When he isn’t teaching, he pursues his other passions, including trials riding, unicycling, ice climbing, and rock climbing. Although most of his time is spent outdoors, he holds a deep love of sewing. From making clothing to bike-packing gear, this hobby keeps him busy when the weather doesn’t allow him to ride.
