As a native of Ohio, Tim Blankenship has been guiding in and around the mountains of Jackson, WY, since 2014. He came to the West with a biology degree, looking for a job that would keep him active and outdoors. Guiding allows him to do just that, and he now guides year-round while enjoying his life with his wife and two kids. He is committed to sharing his love for the Tetons with his guests and plans to call Jackson home for many years to come.
