Stephen Starks

My name is Stephen Starks, I’m a 36-year-old adventurer, aspiring subsistence farmer, outdoors enthusiast & content creator.

  Originally from Texas, I had absolutely no interest in the outdoors; it’s hot, outdoor gear is expensive, and over a decade of football gave me an aversion to that heat. Fast forward to 2020, I was new to Colorado and the pandemic hit. My business took quite a turn and I needed an outlet.

 I started hiking, which led to kayaking, 14ers, camping, backcountry skiing, foraging, and fishing, and my love for the outdoors was in full bloom.

My most recent goals are to finish all of Colorado’s 14ers (while living vanlife, snowboard a 14er, and start eating meat/food that I’ve personally procured.

My long-term goal is to leave a digital footprint encouraging all people, but particularly BIPOC & underserved communities, to find, embrace, and even chase the adventure in their lives.
