• International Wildlife Conservation, Adventure Travel, and World Class Rowing

  Send us a textAmy got bucked off a horse and broke her neck. She refused surgery, healed through exercise and visualization, then left the high desert of Oregon to college. She was recruited for the rowing team where she quickly became the strongest person on the oar. Then she got in a boat wreck and broke her back. After recovering from that she tried out for National team and despite being rejected by the coach due to her height, she forced her way onto the boat by demonstrating she could pull harder than anyone else in the country. That pulled that oar all the way to the Sydney Olympics. Since then she’s travelled the world adventuring and hunting. She now runs Branded Rock Canyon, a premier lodge, hunting destination and shooting facility. You want a legendary story? Thoughtful insight into wildlife conservation?
