A mechanical engineer by trade, Isiah has been working with Skyline in some capacity for about 12 years. His range of experience includes all aspects of ziplines, from visiting potential sites, helping with construction and training, advising on operations, engineering new equipment and improving on existing designs, to now leading the company. Mountain biking on the trails right outside Skyline’s Pemberton office and exploring the backcountry on his skis or snowmobile help fill his free time.

From leading the startup of several locations worldwide and working as a guide himself, his specialties include working with prospective clients to design sites and bringing new site operations across the finish line. Noah is a snowmobile and ski aficionado during the winter, and can be found mountain biking, surfing, kiteboarding, or climbing during the warmer months.
