MEET YOUR COACHES
AND THE FOUNDERS OF Adventurous Life
Maryann & Brian Remsburg
We are Brian and Maryann Remsburg, founders of Adventurous Life. We seek to live out our PURPOSE adventurously in all areas of life. We have taken risks financially, gone on multiple mission and service trips to help those less fortunate, and crossed the cultural divide to develop friendships with people who view the world much differently than we do. While we had many adventures during the 18 years we spent living overseas working in international education and adult training, we continue to step into the unknown while now living in the States.
Our two biological children were born in Kenya and Saudi Arabia, and our two youngest were adopted from Ethiopia. Traveling with kids was always an adventure and parenting third culture and adopted kids has brought much growth to us as well. Sometimes we can even be gluttons for punishment when seeking out adventures...like when we took our four kids on a 5-day, 50 mile hike on the Pacific Crest Trail (PCT) when they ranged from the ages of 6-13. The list goes on, with much more to add in the years ahead.
Why do we continue to create challenging goals, step out of our comfort zone, and go into unknown territory? We have learned so much from these experiences about ourselves, others, how the world works, and about our Creator.
​
We want to help you do the same! We don't want you to live our lives and do the things we do, because you have a different PURPOSE. Let's discover that together and start taking steps down your path towards your vision.

About Us

THEIR FIRST MOUNTAINTOP EXPERIENCE
We began our ascent at 2 am. It was difficult to leave the comfort and warmth of our tent. Our water bottles were frozen and we could only see ten feet in front of us. However, we trusted our guide that leaving at this time was worth the trouble. After three hours of trudging uphill, we were nearing the 16,355' peak. Oxygen was increasingly hard to find.
​
Every few steps we would stop again to catch our breath. It seemed like the peak was out of reach until finally, there we were, standing on top of point Lenana, Mt. Kenya. The views were amazing, the sun began to rise, and after a two and a half-day struggle...
​
We were on top of the world!
