Mitch Gilbert
Mitch serves as the photographer, DJ, fixer of all things broken, and most importantly, the driver for South By Land. He controls Rita (introduction below) with the confidence and finesse of an F-18 fighter pilot, and works his camera (Nikon D7000) with the attention to detail and discipline of a young Jimmy Chin. Currently, Mitch is living in Seattle, WA, pursuing his dream of becoming an Impact Investor, and eagerly planning/dreaming of the next adventure.

Taylor Zehren
Without Taylor, nothing at South By Land would have existed or functioned. She is a fluent Spanish speaker, brilliant scholar, and relentless pursuer of all things outdoor adventure. Consistently, Taylor faces adversity with grace, her own successes with humility, and her life with a hunger that is unabated and inspiring. Her roles are varied and numerous, but here are a few: navigator, biologist, translator, organizer, interview coordinator, and chief of mindfulness, intentionality, and personal growth. Currently, she is finishing up her Fulbright Scholarship in Bariloche, Argentina, and plans to spend her next year living there, where she will be teaching and performing her research.

Margot A. Rita ('Rita)
'Rita is our beautiful, studly, loyal '98 Toyota 4Runner, aka our home on wheels. Two stories, hardwood floors, sky lights, abundant storage, pull out bar, walk in closets, security system, semi-functional entertainment system...Rita has it all. With just under 190,000 miles on the clock, her 4 cylinders whine gracefully into the prime of their middle ages. She's not a bad girl, but she's definitely not a good girl.
