About Us

It’s our mission to lead people into an entire lifestyle of fitness and adventure. We’re looking for clients who want, for example, to work out in the gym one day, shoot at the range another, and go diving on the weekend. What’s more, we want to be a place where these sort of people get to meet other likeminded individuals to pursue these hobbies and adventures with. If you’re one of these people, then welcome, we hope you like doing cool shit.

Here at GSD Sports & Adventure, we offer training and certification in pivotal skills starting first and foremost with physical fitness and first aid training. You should never adventure without a team and you will only be a drain if you don’t have the fitness to keep up and the skills to help out if things go south.

History

Our parent company, Global Science Directive, is a nonprofit, 501(c)(3) scientific research company with a highly respected reputation for field work. Very often, field work requires specialized skills in “non-scientific” things: backpacking, scuba diving, extreme-weather activity, and other rigorous outdoor talents. This passion for the outdoors combined with the high demand for professional training in expeditionary research has led us to create GSD Sports & Adventure.

About Cole

I’m a professional microbiologist and physicist as well as a former chemistry professor. I ran the research arm for Global Science Directive for 5 years but, after my wife and I found out our daughter was coming, I decided to put research aside for a while and focus more on the skills side of things. I have a huge love for the outdoors and my wife and I are having a great time taking our daughter, Nell, on her first adventures. As a biomechanics expert, I have worked with a number of athletes (including some you may have heard of) to help them improve their efficiency and performance.
