"Hailing from Montreal, Canada, Scott found his adventurous spirit early on. While he completed his Bachelor of Commerce degree, he participated in the 1991 Broad Peak Expedition in Pakistan, where he showcased both resilience and human frailty by failing to summit on this 8000+m mountain. Scott then embarked on multiple kayak descents in Nepal including the Bodi Kosii, Sun Kosi, and Marsyandi rivers. His passion for the outdoors and belief in community inspired him to co-found Wild Rock Outfitters in 1992. Scott is deeply involved in the athletic community as a triathlon coach, guiding aspiring athletes towards their goals. Alongside his professional achievements, Scott finds fulfillment as a husband to Kathy Eggenberger and a father to Jens and Clara. His dedication to his family, his passion for adventure, and his commitment to his community define Scott."

My working life has always been focused on hospitality and curated service ...I just don't do that so many days a week anymore.

Camping Department Manager/Buyer and Co-Owner

"Chief Camping Adventure Organizer "

Favourite Music: Post Punk

Favourite Hobby Outside Work: Canoe Camping

"Spending time in the outdoors has always been a passion and a way of life for me. Whether hiking, camping, riding my bike, a good day is a day when I have spent some time outside. I enjoy exploring my local area for secret gems -places where few people have been or go. My choice to stay in the outdoor industry was a decision I made in my twenties after spending most of my early life working in outdoor stores. The combination of working with all the outdoor gear I love and surrounding myself with like minded, motivated coworkers is very satisfying. Combine that with discussing outdoor adventures with my customers and I became a lifer in the industry for over thirty years. At the end of the day, a delicious meal and some good drink with my wife is a slice of heaven. Then waking up early to walk the dog and enjoy the beginning of a new day starts the adventure all over again. "

Favourite Hobby Outside Work: Getting out on the trails or in the woods by ski or by foot, sharing music and singing my heart out with friends.

"My love of the outdoors began at a young age by hoping the back fence where I grew up in to explore the surrounding woods and fields. That desire for journeying at a self-propelled pace on two feet, skis and then two wheels grew while living over the years on Vancouver Island and then working in Europe and South America. While working at Wildrock, I love to hear about the planned or past adventures of customers and colleagues alike. Including their favourite places to be outside, right here in our region. "
