Your 2009-2010 Trip Leaders

Oliver Brady: 

Oliver is one of the few remaining Xargamaxodons, a rare type of robot still surviving after the catastrophic technological crash in Y2K. He lives among us showing no signs of his true identity except in brief spurts of athletic and intellectual superiority. Since he does not require sleep, Oliver spends nights acquiring information on neuroscience in an effort to understand the human brain. Fascinated with the living world, Oliver spends all his days outside, where he climbs higher and hikes faster than any of our kind. 

Danielle Dory:

Danielle is a model T-201 Terminator, sent back in time by the dreaded SkyNet to destroy Sarah Connor’s E-Harmony account. After completing her mission, Danielle was amazed by the beauty of the natural world in our time. While waiting for the impending robot apocalypse, she enjoys sinking her fingers into some gnarly crags and jumping into stagnant pools of water while she canyoneers. We hope that one day Danielle will realize that it is possible for man and machine to coexist peacefully.

Jessa Hutchins:

Not much is known of Jessa Hutchins since she came to Trinity in the Fall of 2008. Legend tells us that she grew up with the mountain lions of the New Mexican wilderness and is part woman, part desert wolf. Since then she has accomplished the best in both the worlds of man and animal. She is not only a prospect for the new president of the university and PhD chemist but she still manages to hunt all her own food right here on Trinity's campus. Besides all these adventures she enjoys water cooler talks, clogging and of course leading OUTDOOR REC TRIPS.

Amy Oliver:

One of the last mermaids around, was born in the Red Sea and was one with the fish and coral. Looking for new adventures and her first venture to land, she swam and dove her way to America, only to be even more mystified by the beautiful mountains that awaited her. While she will always be a natural in water, she's gotten exceptionally used to walking on her legs, and is now the only mermaid in the world to have hiked and backpacked mountains as well.  Who knows if she will ever return permanently to the ocean?

Ken Rogge:

Gifted with eleven fingers, Ken began tying fisherman’s knots on his own umbilical cord during his second trimester in the womb. He spent nine years of his life on a deserted island of Manihiki raising chickens and hunting coconut crabs after he fell out of a plane on a family trip. Deprived of his castaway lifestyle in college, Ken often sleeps on the Prassel lawn and bathes in creeks around San Antonio.  Rumor has it Ken’s chest hair has been scientifically engineered to stay moist and shiny even during the camel treks in the Sahara Desert which happen to be one of his favorite pastimes.
