CRAFTED ESCAPES

JORDAN PYERS

My love of travel started early.  I studied abroad in East Africa, spending three months living with the Maasai, studying archaeology, and camping in the bush. 

OPERATIONS MANAGER

After many years calling San Francisco home, I traded the city for the mountains. I now live in the Southern French Alps with my dog and cat, and spend my free time on the trails right outside my door.

I traveled all over Southeast Asia, volunteering, immersing myself in the local culture, and hunting down the best places to eat. I also spent a year living in Australia, where I got dive certified in Cairns, learned to surf, road tripped the coast one small town at a time, and played professional ice hockey for Brisbane.

Before moving into travel, I spent more than a decade building and scaling operations at fast growing tech companies in San Francisco. Now, I bring that same thinking to Crafted Escapes. I build the systems, tools, and processes behind every trip we plan, so our advisors can spend their time where it matters most: with their clients.
