Marcus Shoffner entered the outdoor industry by working in the for-profit sector managing an industry trade show before transitioning to focus on city and state outdoor initiatives.

Marcus moved to Pittsburgh in 2018 and activated his skillset on a local level. Soon after, he created the Outdoor Inclusion Coalition to create a collaborative space to grow the outdoor industry and communal greenspaces.

Today, in addition to his work with OIC, Marcus strives to break barriers in alpine climbing, mountain biking, and skiing.
