Management Team
David Cudmore
Operations Director Southern New England, Owner
I left my 20 plus-year high-tech carer as a Quality Engineer to devote my full attention to Still River Outfitters. I especially enjoy passing along my love of the outdoors through fun, enjoyable and high-energy classes.
I was a student leader in a unique high school outdoor program called IPEC. I learned a lot about leadership and outdoor skills through this program. A lot of what Still River Outfitters has become is based on what I learned in IPEC,
During my "off" time (Ha!), I enjoy spending time with my family, building kayaks, fly-fishing and bowhunting. Truly the best part of Still River Outfitters is being able to do this with my wife Karen and the kids there right along with me.
