Meet Brian Hamilton

In 2017, I felt a deep yearning for the wild stirring within me. As an Illinois native who spent my childhood exploring the backcountry, my passion for wilderness and the great outdoors never faded. While driving through the high Rockies that year, I made a pact to reignite my adventurous spirit. That’s when I founded Summitborn—a platform to share my firsthand experiences and empower others to embrace the raw beauty of the natural world.

This marked the start of a new chapter, blending my love for exploration and storytelling into a resource for those craving authentic outdoor adventures.
