2027 Speaker: Ann-Marie Brissett-Laverty
After almost a decade of competing in Powerlifting, National competitor Ann-Marie decided to put the singlet aside in exchange for hiking boots and her tent coined as her “nylon mansion” .
Her story to the outdoors didn’t start when she was young, so this was all brand new to her. Years later, she is sharing her love and journey of the outdoors through her chuckle filled content.
Ann inspires others to take the leap with her. She’s a weekend warrior through and through. Her love for the backcountry isn’t complete without a paddle and fishing rod that she holds on to year-round.
Featured in the book “Tent Life”, Ann reminds us that getting outside shouldn’t be difficult. It is simply about doing the damn thing and living in the moment of it all!
