Will Patton

Will is known for endless energy, infectious enthusiasm, sharp humor, eagerness to learn, generous spirit, and humble nature.  When it comes to tracking him around the world, he can be hard to nail down.  You can be confident that when you do find him you've come to a great place.  You are as likely to bounce into him searching for an authentic noodle restaurant on a metropolitan street as you are to witness him take off behind the peak then pull into the barrel at any empty and hard to reach Indonesian reef break.   

His diverse work experience in hospitality is second to none when it comes to helping you make the most of your next trip.  Will has led expeditions all over the world and in all different capacities.  He's guided surfing in Fiji and Indonesia, taught skiing in Tahoe, and managed luxury lodges in Utah.   His leadership skills and motivated personality drive him to excel in every aspect of destination travel.  We are fortunate to have him as part of our team.     

In his free time stateside he regularly dives for abalone while scouring the California coast for empty waves.  He's skied the slopes of Alaska, rock climbed in Thailand, played professional lacrosse, lived in Singapore, skydived on a regular basis, chased Steelhead in British Colombia, worked on a pearl farm in Tahiti, and completed the Escape from Alcatraz Triathalon in under 3 hours.  Not to mention he takes his food very seriously.

He holds numerous formal degrees including a BS from UC Santa Barbara and a Master's in Hospitality Management  from Cornell University.
