Francis (he/him/his) is a first-generation Chinese-Canadian who grew up in Colorado, and, after bouncing around the US for a while, found himself back in Denver. He's always felt the pull of the outdoors, but rarely was able to share that affinity with other people that looked like him. Francis is looking forward to helping carve out a space for Asian Americans to learn and feel welcome in these outdoor pursuits. He's currently pursuing a Masters in Environmental Engineering, but you can always find him in the garage tinkering with cars, or out-and-about riding whatever bicycles he can get his grubby hands on.
