Quinn Carson grew up in the midwest skateboarding, snowboarding, and wakeboarding. He longed for more adventure than the midwest had to offer and was drawn to California by the ocean and the mountains.

Shortly after moving he became a surf instructor, climbing guide and founder of the surf adventure company Eat Sleep Surf. Teaching is Quinn's way of giving to others the joys of climbing and surfing that he never had growing up. He knows what it is like to be new to climbing and discover it for the first time, and he nurtures this discovery in every adaptive climber. Quinn gets great joy out of helping climbers reach goals that others might have thought were out of reach.
