Author Biography

Some people lose sleep over mortgage payments and job stress, but Chef Glenn lays awake at night thinking of how to turn potatoes and turnips into a tasty sauce for his next backpacking meal. Come morning and a cup of strong coffee, he fires up the blender and the dehydrator - and the fun begins.

While he hasn't solved the problems of biting gnats, soggy boots and aching knees, Chef Glenn has helped an enthusiastic following of adventurers enjoy great meals on the trail.

Chef Glenn lives in the United States and Switzerland with his wife, Dominique. They share a passion for cooking healthy food and exploring the natural beauty of both countries by foot, canoe and bicycle.
