Program Director

I was born and raised in Alabama backpacking in the woodland forests. The outdoors has always provided a great deal of clarity and understanding in my life. I learned at a young age that getting outside would give me a big dose of the “feel goods”. It was through outdoor adventure that my body and mind began to heal, always returning with a different perspective about what I was facing in my life. My passion to work in the outdoors felt unreal and not attainable and I never put a lot of thought into pursuing it. After years of moving around the country seeking jobs that I thought I needed, a mentor flew me out to climb Mt. Rainier. After that trip one of my guides encouraged me to explore some of my passions in the outdoor industry. When I found out about Peak 7 I could hardly believe something like it existed. It absolutely changed everything about what I thought was possible for my future. The culture and community surrounding Peak 7 has had an everlasting impact on me and I consider it a great honor to now be in the program role helping to create programs that might inspire others.

Having grown-up climbing in the trees, swimming in the oceans and trekking through the swamps, the PNW opened up a whole new world of outdoor beauty.  She now enjoys boating, paddle boarding and hiking with her 11-year-old son Jackson and husband Dan. Tiffany has spent the last 19 years in the health and wellness industry and is a passionate advocate for organic farming and regenerative agriculture.  So, bringing together physical fun and nature advocacy via Peak7 couldn’t be a more natural fit!

Program Administrator

Paige felt the call of change during the COVID-19 shutdown, realizing she was missing the mark of a deeply formed life. Seeking healthy changes one step at a time she left her old way of living to start fresh in a new city and state. In 2021, she moved to Spokane with the intent of becoming closer with her sister and embracing new opportunities for growth. Here in Spokane the wilderness has become second nature to her, where she goes to process and pray. Paige values challenge, acknowledging that while God may not visibly be active in every circumstance, His sovereignty reigns over all things. Her life verse, Romans 12:1-2 “Therefore, I urge you, brothers and sisters, in view of God’s mercy, to offer your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and pleasing to God – this is your true and proper worship. Do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be able to test and approve what God’s will is – his good, pleasing and perfect will.” This scripture is her compass as she navigates life, guiding her to pursue excellence in the small, every day habits that lay the foundation for lasting transformation. Alongside her husband, Paige is passionate about cultivating a life that honors God. She is eager to foster a sense of community in Spokane serving with Peak 7, always seeking to encourage others on their own journeys

Max was born and raised in Brazil, the second-best country in the world (can’t upset the Americans! 😂). He grew up in a missionary family dedicated to church planting and camp ministry, and both of his parents were also raised in Brazil. His connection to the U.S. comes through his grandmother, Ginny, who grew up in Winlock, Washington before becoming a missionary in Brazil. Since his family raised much of their support in Washington, Max had the chance to visit often, building a strong bond with the PNW. Max’s love for the outdoors grew when he worked as a lead backpacking guide for Eagle Village, a nonprofit serving youth who have experienced abuse and neglect. A summer full of backpacking and humbling moments opened his eyes to the therapeutic power of the outdoors, inspiring him to bring similar opportunities to kids in Brazil. Then he saw a post with a mountain in the background—checked it out, read the mission statement, and was hooked. Now he’s here!
Max is currently finishing his Bachelor’s in Business Administration at Ferris State University, with plans to expand camp ministry programs in the U.S. and Brazil, using the outdoors as a tool for healing and transformation.

Anna spent the first years of her life exploring the outdoors with her dad in the Pocono Mountains of Pennsylvania. Through quiet mornings watching beavers and long hikes in the woods, she grew to recognize God's presence in the world around her. As an adult, Anna has sought to deepen her relationship with God and point others to Him by experiencing the outdoors alone and in community. Highlights of her backpacking career include spending three weeks on the Mountains to Sea Trail of North Carolina with family, leading a troupe of campers on the Superior Hiking Trail in Minnesota, and hiking with peers in the Grand Canyon. Anna believes that people take immense benefit from outdoor experience - physically, mentally, and spiritually. She was inspired by Peak 7's mission to bring under-resourced youths into the outdoors and give them the chance at a life-changing experience meant to show them Jesus Christ. Anna hopes to continue exploring, to grow in outdoor leadership, and to finish her degree in Environmental Science (fingers crossed). Wherever God is leading, that is where she wants to be.

Hi- I am Jack Odone!
I am from Camas, Washington, but lived in England and Germany for 7 years while my dad was stationed overseas. I am an Eagle Scout, and have loved getting to do outdoor adventures and grow my skills.
Peak 7 speaks to me because I want to bond with kids through the outdoors and hopefully talk with them about their life and Jesus.
A goal I have is to get my degree in Political Science from Whitworth University and maybe become an attorney so I can help people who are underrepresented and need help.
