Zane Yanzick, '14

 

 

When former Oregon State baseball player, Zane Yanzick '14 landed his dream job at Nike right out of college, he was "living the dream." As his career was taking off, it was his passion for travel and adventure that led him to take a leap of faith, quit his job, and co-found Adventure Mates with his brother and close friend.

Join us as Zane shares his story of how living life starts at the edge of your comfort zone can lead you to new adventures all around the world.
