Conor Barry

Growing up in Salt Lake City, Conor graduated with a degree in biology from the University of Utah, which he immediately put to use by spending all his time outside working as an outdoor and adventure photographer. Degrees aside, Conor has spent the last decade working in the marketing fields with outdoor brands to create and leverage digital content — including gear and mountain bike reviews. He has a creative streak that lends itself well to content creation. On the other side of the coin, he thinks very analytically when it comes to problem-solving. Conor can tend to nerd out about numbers and data to the point where his friends tune him out. He is a bit of a tech geek, especially when it comes to cameras. He's spent more than his fair share on camera gear over the years.

He spends most of his free time logging miles on his bike in the Wasatch mountains near Salt Lake City, UT. When he's not riding his bike, he's probably hiking, backpacking, fly fishing, climbing, or wishing he was riding his bike. He's one of the rare breeds of Utahns fed up with the whole ordeal and traffic of winter sports in the Cottonwood Canyons. During winter, he usually migrates south to warmer climes, more suited for riding bikes outdoors. Every once in a long while, he will spend a few hours inside watching YouTube videos about building a shed or laying hardwood floors. It's more than likely that he will never actually get around to doing either one.
