Dustin grew up on a cattle farm in Adamsville, a tiny rural town in Tennessee. Since leaving the farm to attend the University of Tennessee in Knoxville, he hasn’t looked back. Always seeking an adventure, Dustin kept heading west, spending two cold years in Breckenridge, Colorado before booking a one-way flight to Hawaii, where he realized he’s more of an “ocean guy.” He now considers it mandatory to jump in every ocean and sea that he comes across. Dustin has worked for Backroads for several years leading trips across the US and Europe , and is currently on a hot streak of leading in Hawaii.
