Hello. My name is David Sword. I am a passionate outdoors person, skier, climber and fly-fisher, who loves mountain and gravel biking, and combining those loves with world travel. I have 30+ years experience in the Outdoor Industry, ranging from professional athlete and educator, freelance writer and photo journalist, to retail sales, marketing and product development. I am adept at handling various responsibilities by prioritizing my tasks, establishing clear deadlines and finding creative solutions to eliminate obstacles. With my background in education and as a freelance writer, I have developed strong interpersonal and communication skills that allow me to adapt to any group or situation.
