Ever the nomad, Brock can’t seem to sit still. His idea of “home” has been obscure ever since his blurry, childhood days in SoCal when he sported the two-toned, corduroy OP shorty shorts and cruised the orange groves on his BMX bike. It was in 2003 when he turned hobby into career as he left the 9-5 graphic design “corporate” world on Maui to spread his wings in pursuit of glamorous outdoor jobs. It was a decision that flipped his world upside down. The change ultimately led to unforgettable experiences in breathtaking destinations such as the Cascades of Oregon, the Front Range and San Juan Mountains of Colorado, the subtropical waters of Hawaii, the San Juan Islands and Gulf Islands of the Salish Sea in Washington and British Columbia, and to the glaciers and fiords of Southeast Alaska. His resume boasts quite a few career layovers: boat captain, expedition leader, whitewater raft guide, outdoor science instructor, photographer and occasional travel writer.
Throughout his journey Maui has been home base, on and off anyway. Hawaii’s warm, salt air and laid back lifestyle beckons him back time and again. There’s just something about the islands that heals the soul. But, it’s the crazy DIY adventures that fuel his spirit as he prefers to zigzag his way to feisty fish rather than take the easy path.
