Who's Writing

Claire
I wouldn’t say I’m accident prone…just prone to taking part in activities that happen to cause accidents. But if you asked me to trade in any of my experiences so that I wouldn’t have a metal plate in my arm -or have to go through an upcoming knee surgery - I’d say no way.

I’ve always been referred to as the sporty one from an early age (my brother programs computers…in his spare time). Maybe it was just programmed in my nature to take risks. I just think I need to work on my calculation.

When all is well you will find me exploring the mountains on my snowboard, getting up with the sun to wakeboard on a glassy lake or headed straight to the coast. I stay occupied in my downtime with music, food and friends. But, I’ll never stay down for long because frankly I can’t think of anything better than riding fresh powder and I like the taste of salt water - even if it’s combined with a few cracked ribs.

Let Johnny Love, Clif Bar CO/UT Field Marketing Crew Captain, fill you in below… Well, as you may know, Field Marketing can be as tough as herding cats in the winter.
