About Me

About Me

Jeff Potter

Hi! I’m Jeff Potter … I celebrate outdoor fun! I’m into normalizing all the things we do outside. Nothing is too hard or expensive. There’s always a way! I’m big on bikes, boats and XC skis. And also how they tie in with indoor life, too. Since 1991! Come on in, wander around, there’s a lot going on!
