MEET OUR FOUNDERS
MICHAEL BENAVIDEZ
CO-FOUNDER & CO-OWNER
OFF-GRID EXPLORING HAS BEEN A DESIRE OF MICHAEL’S SINCE CHILDHOOD. HIS FIRST BACKPACKING TRIP TO COLORADO BEND STATE PARK REIGNITED HIS PASSION FOR DISCONNECTING AND WELCOMING THE WILD OF THE TRAILS. HIS DISCOVERY AND BOND WITH THE OUTSIDE WORLD, ALONG WITH COFOUNDER KONNER HARTMAN, SPURRED A JOURNEY TO CREATE A COMPANY THAT ADVOCATES FOR THAT ADVENTUROUS OUTDOOR LIFESTYLE. MICHAEL STARTED HIS FIRST BUSINESS IN 2013, CREATING A FOUNDATION OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP THAT GIVES PERILOUS OUTDOORS CO. THE LEVERAGE TO EXECUTE THE OVERALL MISSION AND CREATE AN ENVIRONMENT THAT CAN SUSTAIN IMMENSE LOVE FOR NATURE.
