Caching Up With … Groundspeak’s Bryan Roth

In this occasional series, It’s Not About The Numbers asks geocachers to find themselves, rather than a hidden container.

Today’s victim is Groundspeak co-founder Bryan Roth.

BRYAN ROTH

Age:  42

Location:  Seattle, Washington.  Originally from Long Island, New York.

GC handle: Bryan. As co-founders of Groundspeak, Jeremy [Irish] was Jeremy, Elias [Alvord] was Elias; so it was a natural choice for me to go with Bryan.

Occupation: Groundspeak vice-president and co-founder.

Hobbies: Well, my job is geocaching but I really enjoy it.  When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, watersports and snowboarding.  I also like to run.

GPSr: I almost always use my iPhone. It’s always with me and with the direct connection to Geocaching.com, I don’t have to plan.  For international travel, I usually load a Pocket Query into the Geocaching app so I can find caches without data charges.

Start date: Over 11 years. I was introduced to it by Jeremy and Elias and actually worked for Groundspeak (Grounded Inc originally) before I ever found a cache.

Find tally: 276

Best geo-memory: Meeting my wife Hydee and my adopted son Dylan at a Moun10Bike geocaching event (GC26D6 Washington Geocaching Potluck & Quilting Bee) in 2001.

Most often found caching … When I travel for Groundspeak.  When I am in Seattle, I am working on geocaching projects fulltime so, often when I go home, I do other stuff with my wife and kids.

With … My wife and kids, but also other Groundspeak lackeys.
