W H O ' S W H O ERIC Eric Adsit can't cross a bridge without looking for a river beneath it. He calls Lake Placid home and spends as much time as possible on the rivers, trails, and mountains of the Adirondacks and beyond. When he's not helping with LOCALadk, he can usually be found with a camera in hand producing films and photos celebrating the outdoors and the communities found in the Adirondacks. RHIANNON Rhiannon Berry Adsit runs, bikes, swims, and writes whenever and wherever she can, gets unreasonably excited about beautiful trees, and has never met a dog she didn't love. Born and raised in North Syracuse, NY, she seeks to instill hope, empathy, and kindness (and vicarious fandom for Syracuse Universtiy Basketball) in her high school English students and beyond. When she isn't writing, teaching, or playing outdoors, she loves to read, play music, and spend time with loved ones. ANNE Anne Brewer lives in Lake Placid. She is an avid outdoor sports enthusiast, kayaker, hiker, skier, photographer, and traveler. Anne earned a degree in International Business and Communications from SUNY Brockport. In addition to her work with LOCALadk , Anne guides for Adventures in Good Company which leads worldwide hiking and kayaking trips for women. Anne is also a Real Estate Agent with Merrill L. Thomas out of Lake Placid. LOCALadk AARON Aaron Schnittman was born in Rochester, NY but has been a regular in the Fulton Chain area for his entire life.

He loves helping his community and making it a better place than it was yesterday, doing a large part of that with his local Elks Lodge. Keeping active and involved in his surrounding world allows Owen to enjoy it best. Lacrosse is one of his favorite ways to do this. Playing for almost a decade, lacrosse allows him to be close to his community and be closer to the earth.
