Hi! I'm Paul.
I’m the founder of Type One Outdoors, and have been living with T1D for 37 years.
I’ve been hiking the mountains of Southern California for a number of years now, and have extensive knowledge of the trails throughout the San Gabriel Mountains, San Bernardino Mountains, Santa Monica Mountains, the Angeles National Forest, Mojave Desert and the Eastern Sierras.
I’ve endured all that diabetes can throw at a diabetic in the backcountry, and I’m on a mission to share all my tips and tricks to all type ones who want to know how to be a type one in the outdoors!
I am certified with the American Mountain Guides Association and a NOLS certified Wilderness First Responder.
