Hunter Lowery discovered the Columbia River as a child and in 1999 was able to make the year round move, as he was drawn back by the area's wealth of outdoor recreation and vibrant quality of life. Hunter is originally from Washington State but relocated to the Gorge from Arcata, CA where he completed a Masters of Science from Humboldt State University's School of Natural Resources. An avid traveler, Hunter volunteered with the Peace Corps in Madagascar, explored whitewater in Central America, and played competitive soccer in East Africa. He values his experiences meeting new people as some of his most insightful education. Hunter has continued his exploration all over the Gorge and is continually amazed at the abundant beauty and uniqueness of the area.

Today, Hunter's enthusiasm for sharing the Gorge is apparent in his intimate knowledge of the area, local markets, and his involvement in community activities. Hunter lives downtown with his wife Stacy and three four-legged, furry children.
