Diane has always been a fitness/health buff, outdoor enthusiast, and wanderer. Even back-in-the-day when she was a hotel industry Accountant, active vacations were always top priority … often taking off work without pay to go somewhere.
Always staying in shape kept the door open for many adventures through the year including running marathons, scuba diving, hiking, cycling, rock climbing, canyoneering, camping, rafting, canoeing, kayaking, and horseback riding.
Being the “organizer” for many active vacations for herself and friends through the years, Diane dreamed of starting her own business one day. Doing exactly that, by the fall of 2000 it was time to launch Golden Adventures (now FIT 4 ADVENTURE) full time!
Today, after traveling there since 2001, Boston marathon is the largest trip for FIT 4 ADVENTURE (500 traveling with us for the 2017 Boston Marathon). Our cycling trip in Mallorca, Spain, is also hugely popular and going strong since 2011.
We have such a variety of athletic interests, FIT 4 ADVENTURE trips have grown into much more than running & cycling. The trips now include hiking, kayaking, rafting, yoga, skiing, snow shoeing and more! New, active adventures are born every year. Honestly, Diane passed along a simple philosophy- plan an epic adventure as if as if it were for your best friends. It truly is the best job ever!!
Since 2009, when Joe first came along on a F4A hiking trip at Big Bend National Park, he has contributed to, and created, many exciting adventures for our guests as our Senior Guide. Some examples: hiking in Washington State, Utah and Alaska; winter powder play in Colorado; trekking through the Alps in France; exploring in Iceland and Mallorca…and more to come!
As an Adventure Guide, Joe is easy-going and adaptable - always looking for the most unique and unexpected experiences. Meanwhile,he stays well attuned to safety and satisfaction of those he travels with. In addition to the regular trips, Joe can create and host private, customized trips for your family or group.
In his less-senior years, Joe worked in advertising, then home building and finally commercial construction. His more adventuresome post-career path started in 2008 when he was the hike leader in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society’s Team in Training program in North Texas and got connected with Diane and F4A. In 2011, he relocated to Seattle where he managed fundraising summit climbs on Mt. Rainier for the American Lung Association, while also working as a city tour guide and starting to lead more F4A trips. Joe now lives in St. Louis where he has picked up yet another side hustle at the local REI Co-op. As a sales specialist at REI, he enjoys expanding his gear knowledge and sharing travel experiences with customers.

Kris is an outdoor enthusiast, triathlete, event planner, and a true adventurist at heart! Right after college she headed to Colorado to follow her dreams of working at a ski resort, and continued to fall in love with anything and everything outdoors: hiking, biking, skiing, ice climbing—you name it she tried it!
In 2002, she put everything she owned in storage and hit the road, spending the next 12 years traveling the world while caddying on the Nationwide Tour/PGA Tour, and being the Tour Director for the APT Men’s Golf Tour. Her weeks off were spent exploring and finding adventures anywhere she could, including rock climbing in Rio, surfing in Chili, scuba diving at the Great Barrier Reef, and backpacking in New Zealand.
She also enjoys trail running and competing in triathlons, finishing 6 Ironman Triathlons, 2 Extreme Triathlons, and a Double Ironman so far! She absolutely loves the water and never misses a chance for a swim, including once completing a 10-mile swim race.
Recently, she has realized her love of organizing adventures for others after planning trips to Alaska, Iceland, Montana, and Tahiti for groups of friends. Some of these friends then introduced her to Diane with Fit 4 Adventure and now she is excited to be planning and guiding trips as part of the F4A team.
In 2018, she married David Corbett, a 5th generation rancher and she now lives on a working cattle ranch in Texas. She enjoys being a loving dog mom to Divot, a 6 year old Vizsla. She manages the local pool and teaches swim lessons during the summer and is both a lifeguard instructor and certified CPR instructor. While she is a little more settled now, she never misses the chance to travel and never says no to an adventure!
Nick started traveling at an early age, with family trips to England, France, the Caribbean and Canada. A childhood obsession with Australia led to a Semester Abroad in Sydney while enrolled at Northwestern University. That experience in turn led to a 3-year trip-around-the-world, which included a year spent living in New Zealand, 3 months backpacking in Southeast Asia, a month in China, a month in Nepal, a year back in Australia, and 4 months traveling through 11 countries in Africa. Talk about ‘adventure’- it.was.EPIC.
Add to that extended-length expeditions through South America and Europe- at 45 countries (and counting…), Nick has developed quite the travel dossier.
His passion for travel and adventure are rivaled only by his enthusiasm for encouraging and empowering others to get out of their comfort zones and pursue their own adventures.
To that end, he has developed an Adventure Travel website (www.BackpackU.com), is an avid adventure travel writer/blogger, and continues to pursue a career in Adventure Travel
Multimedia.
In his spare time, you’ll find Nick running trails at local state parks, hitting the single track on his mountain bike, or hiking along the bluffs that line the Missouri River. Skiing the Rockies, camping in Joshua Tree and the Grand Canyon, backpacking through Glacier- Nick continues to pursue outdoor adventures at every opportunity, and is thrilled and excited to be part of the
Fit4Adventure Team.

Emily has had a love of adventure since traveling to Russia at the age of 15. She has since explored Israel, joined a photo safari in South Africa, backpacked in the Rocky Mountains and Smokey Mountains, and hiked the awe-inspiring Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. As a cyclist, she has completed several century rides, joined group rides across Texas into Mexico, and has since added tours of Spain and Croatia with Fit 4 Adventure!
Before joining Fit 4 Adventure, she spent several years coordinating remote recruiting teams which gave her the opportunity to work anywhere, even from a tent, on occasion. She used this freedom to explore many of America's National Parks including Yosemite, Grand Canyon, Zion, Joshua Tree and Death Valley. Emily discovered she is at her best while connecting with people one on one, and loves the ability to do this while exploring in nature.
Emily has practiced yoga for over 20 years, and has been teaching since 2019. Her classes are built on showing loving kindness to ourselves and others, and she uses a very gentle approach toward physical practice. Emily is CPR and Wilderness First Aid certified, and is active as a group facilitator in personal and relational awareness.
While researching the type of adventure travel company she dreamed of building, Emily discovered Fit 4 Adventure and joined the team in planning and guiding trips, as well as working to continually optimize our guest's full experience.
