Welcome to our new River Operations Coordinator, Ben Iverson! Ben went to Fort Lewis and graduated in 2023 with a degree in Business Administration. During his time as a student, he was heavily involved in both Outdoor Pursuits, as well as FLOW as a guide and trip leader! After graduating, he managed river operations on the Salt River in Arizona, as well as many other local rivers such as the Upper Animas, Piedra, and San Miguel. During his free time, you can find him skiing, kayaking, and skydiving! Ben is very excited to join the team at FLC and contributing to the continued success of Outdoor Pursuits!

We’re so excited to have Ben on the team! 🛶🌊🪨🏜️
