Graham
Jackson
|
Graham
was born in Lesotho and grew up in Southern Africa of British descent.
He inherited his parent's dream of driving through Africa (and their
love of Land Rovers). Graham has a degree in Environmental Chemistry and
works as lab director for ESN Rocky Mountain. Back in 1996 he and Witt
came up with the idea of putting that dream into practice. The rest is
history! In 1998 Graham and Connie got married he took her to Africa for
the first time and she was enveloped in the dream. |
Connie
Rodman
|
Connie
grew up in Loveland,
Colorado and is a rare native of that state (although she too has
traveled extensively). She met Witt and Graham in high school, where she
and Graham started their relationship. Connie has a degree in
Performance Theatre. In 1998 she and Graham got married and honeymooned
in Southern Africa (before which she was very much against this trip).
There she was infected by the dream. |
Jennifer
Sparks

Jen
grew up in Philadelphia and met Witt at work in 1996. Earning her PhD in
Aerospace Engineering cut into her travel time, and she's now making up
lost ground. She has visited all 48 contiguous United States and
traveled with Witt in New Zealand in 1998 and traveled to Peru and
Bolivia with him in 2000. She also enjoys many outdoor activities, and
seldom allows Witt to sleep in on the weekends. Jen and Witt were
married in Maine in 2001. |
Witt
Sparks

Witt
grew up in Colorado and moved around extensively as a child. His travels
were largely confined to the United States until he went to Europe with
Graham in 1995 where he was fortunate to be bitten by the travel bug. In
1998, Witt spent four months backpacking through South-East Asia, Nepal,
and New Zealand. When not traveling, he enjoys hiking and backpacking,
skiing, biking, and whitewater kayaking. Witt finished climbing all of
Colorado's 14,000 foot peaks in 1997. Witt works as a software developer
to pay for his many toys. |
