BRYAN COLE

Bryan is a rare breed of modern day adventurer, experiential family man, and edge-running pioneer in the outdoor industry. Initially working in a handful of leadership positions in the outdoor space and environmental education, he spent over 17 years with CLIF Bar and led their early development into adventure sports and related environmental partnerships and community building. Working with brands, athletes, creatives, causes, events and more, Bryan did it all.

 

In 2018, drawn by an undeniable dream and the desire to change things up altogether, Bryan and his wife pulled the plug on conventional life and hit the road with their 6-year-old to begin worldschooling themselves into reimagining how they could live, grow, work, and weave their ways ongoing in today’s ever changing landscape.

​

After a year-long Global Ramble, they landed in Hood River, Oregon where they hit RE-START with a fresh town, a fresh backyard, and a fresh perspective on how they dreamed to be.

​

With an unshakable drive to keep the adventure alive in everything, Bryan started B.COLECTIVE, where he pours his energy into cultivating community with inspired brands, purpose driven athletes, impactful nonprofits and creatively influential people; all of whom want collectively to push positive ideas towards purposeful outcomes. Put simply, B.COLECTIVE focuses on Good People with Good Projects, and Good Purpose.

​

On any given day, Bryan strives to balance his passion for his work, life, family, and growing community in the outdoors while always welcoming the opportunity to explore what's next on the horizon of professional adventure.
