Read MorePerry Towle plays sports, games, and writes songs with his wife and two daughters ages 10 and 14. Mountain biking at least one weekend morning is non-negotiable.
Making videos and music has been his creative outlet since early in high school in the late 1980s. Back then, no one owned a video recorder much less even knew how to use one. After editing the videos Perry would mix them with music he had composed. He still enjoys doing this 30+ years later.
In his twenties Perry was a youth counselor. He was enamored with the personal growth that tweens and teens were experiencing while participating in collaborative activities in the wilderness. He went on to get a Masters in Experiential Education.
