Public Lands Activist

Ice and Rock Climber
Outdoor Industry Advocate
Hello All!
My name is Emmett Nelson, I grew up in Michigan and made my way West after college. My enthusiasm advocating for our public lands has taken me all over the United States. I spent the better part of a year after moving to Seattle building a van. Not in the traditional "van-life build-out" I designed a custom fabrication and built the exterior and interior. I left Seattle to live full-time in the van, work remotely, climb and write. I ended up working for a few brands before working on Free Solo Film and working with ROAM doing the full spectrum of social planning/execution as well as spending time helping others share their life's work. I am an avid ice and rock climber as well as a passionate artist. My favorite mediums are carpentry and ceramics. I currently live in Colorado with my lovely girlfriend and our pup. We love to travel in our van to different events and would be excited to share stories with you.
