DRI Storyteller:

Headshot of Megan smiling with arms folded in front of a desert landscape. Megan Stueve will tell a story that is still unfolding. She is documenting hiking trails throughout the state parks in Nevada using 3D technology. The result is an immersive digital space that makes Nevada’s stunning landscapes accessible to all.

 

 

 

Featured Storyteller:

Ryan Cooper posing with a mountain climbing ice axe. Ryan Cooper has spent the last decade building world-class endurance races and most recently for the IRONMAN Group, all while chasing his own dreams…but one journey changed everything. Ryan invites audiences to reflect on what it means to chase dreams, confront loss, and find meaning in the mountains—both literal and metaphorical.
