Kevin Vick moved to Colorado in 1993 and quickly found the ski slopes. Six years later, he was skiing 100 days a year and in the summers went mountain biking and rock climbing.
He loved being outdoors, but he felt like something was missing from his life.
“I didn’t feel like I was having a real great purpose,” he said. “Or I was really making a difference.”
He turned to teaching and found his purpose helping students as a social studies teacher and prep football coach. He also taught other educators to advocate for themselves and organized them to better their work conditions.
