Zach started his career as a raft guide right out of high school. During college he saw a post looking for help with a new start up company that was making rafts out of a garage. He jumped on the opportunity and has been with Kokopelli since almost the very beginning. If you are in Colorado you will probably see Zach out on the Poudre River chasing high spring flows in his kayak.
Favorite Packraft - The Rodeo

Favorite Packraft - Twain Lite
Tristan started packrafting in 2016 when his girlfriend bought him a Kokopelli for Christmas. He instantly fell in love and went off the deep end with it. He became one of our ambasadors and kept bothering us until we gave him a job here. When he isn't out packrafting he's out rock climbing, snowboarding, canyoneering, or taking anything he can get his hands on down the river.
Favorite Packraft - Nirvana Self Bailing
Mr. Ohio moved to Boulder a few years ago. He worked for a few other outdoor brands until he found us in 2022. When Erik isn't out hiking to alpine lakes to paddle you'll find him trail running up the Flat Irons trying to set a new PR.
Favorite Packraft - Hornet Lite
Patsy has also been with Kokopelli from the very beginning (she's Kelley's Mom). Patsy loves long multiday river trips with her husband Kenny. When she's not rowing a big oar frame raft, she's out in her garden.
