About Us

Chase Your Adventures is our ethos at Oyen Adventures and is something we aspire to do everyday.

Adventures come in so many different ways. Your adventure could be going to the local park for a walk with your dog, learning to paddle a kayak, going on a weekend camping trip, embarking on a trip of a lifetime to a far off destination, or working to better yourself personally or professionally. 

Sharing this adventurous spirit, knowledge, and expertise is what we do - we just do it in a way that brings an "adventure mindset" to provide a different, but very applicable perspective.

About the "Oyen" in Oyen Adventures: 
Jeremy

I'm a dedicated organizational and operations leader with 30+ years of experience focused on training & development, employee engagement, program development, and leading businesses and recreational professionals at the local, regional, and national level. 

​

Additionally, I've spent the past 3 decades sharing my love of the outdoors through guiding others to "Chase Your Adventure!"

 

Whether you'd like to become a better people and organizational leader or spend time outside learning more about paddlesports (my fav), cycling, hiking, or just enjoying life, I am in.
