Take Less. Do More. With Glen Van Peski A retired seasoned Civil Engineer who accidentally started an ultra-light backpacking company, Glen Van Peski has been helping people from all over learn how to lighten their loads by taking less to enjoy more in life.

At 17, he and three of his buddies hit the road on their bicycles and rode across the country. Setting out on the opportunity of a lifetime, Glen and his friends would encounter many wonderful people and experiences that would provide valuable lessons for a lifetime. As an engineer, Glen always looked for better ways to do things. So, in 1998, he turned his passion for the outdoors into Gossamer Gear, a company dedicated to manufacturing the best ultralight backpacking equipment for the outdoor enthusiast. Now the author of "Take Less. Do More: Surprising Life Lessons in Generosity, Gratitude, and Curiosity from an Ultralight Backpacker", Glen spends his days continuing to practice generosity, gratitude, and curiosity by helping others become unstuck in their circumstances, create more of what they want in life, and be of help and service to others.
