Author Tom Gerencer

Tom Gerencer is a former whitewater pro who ran his own highly profitable video production business in Maine for eight years. He’s kayaked rivers in Costa Rica, Chile, Argentina and all over the U.S. After touring the country for two years looking for the best place to live, he settled on West Virginia for its mix of California activities and Appalachia prices. Tom regularly kayaks the Gauley and New rivers, writes articles on lifestyle, money, and nutrition, and spends tons of time with his wife and two sons.
