He is an avid backcountry skier, biker and runner and just a few summers ago rafted the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon. Perry is a certified WFR and lifeguard. He has worked for many years as a coach, teacher, trainer and camp counselor with students ranging from age 7 to 65. Perry is proud to work with High 5 Adventure as consultant around strategic planning and leadership.
