Ben Tertin lives in the Pacific Northwest with his wife and two kids. He's an outdoorsman and writer, a craftsman and a teacher. Often you'll find him exploring the mountains and beaches of Oregon with his family or hanging rope swings in the backyard with his kids. He's a creative storyteller, drawing from deep academic study and many personal adventures. In the end, he's a regular guy who probably talks too much and really loves people, a lot.
