John Stout

Born and raised in Berkeley, John is a West Coast native who grew up ten blocks from MT Sobek’s main headquarters. He was fortunate enough to travel in Europe and extensively in France as a youngster thanks to a Francophile mother and his time at a French-American elementary school. After completing a BA in Environmental Studies at Pomona College in Los Angeles, John made a whirlwind trip to visit friends in Asia where he fell in love with travel. Before returning to the Bay Area, he enjoyed a stint in the Pacific Northwest where he grew a love for nature photography and ultramarathon running. When he’s not working at his job as an Adventure Coordinator, John can usually be found surfing or traveling the world with his family, camera in hand.
