Mike Sydnor
Tour Guide
Who is Mike?
Born and raised in St. Louis, MO. I moved out to Seattle in 2008, and life has not been the same since. I fell in love with the outdoors and have tried to take advantage of all the experiences that the Midwest could not provide growing up.
In Seattle I have tried on many hats to earn a living. I started in construction and stone fabrication and then found my way into aerospace structural design. In the PNW, I have spent most of my free time backpacking, climbing, biking, mountaineering, and skiing. I’m very excited for a life change where I can share my experience, expertise and knowledge of the outdoors with anyone who will listen!
