Lenka: Reservationist
March 2nd, 2009 by Malina
Lenka is a rare bird, both exotic and practical. She was born in the Czech Republic so she brings Eastern European flair to our Walnut Creek office–and she also keeps it in top form with her impeccable attention to detail. The woman can work wonders with Excel that would make admin assistants the world over drool! And that’s before she explains it to you in two languages and then heads out the door to train for a marathon. Like quite a number of AO employees over the years, Lenka also found true love through us, meeting and marrying her sweetheart, AO guide Howard in our office. Here they are on a summertime Tuolumne River trip……

Joe came to All-Outdoors from the snowy slopes of Colorado ski resorts. Apparently he wanted to get a tan after all that time in a parka……Whatever the reason, he joined us a few years ago and pretty much became indispensable from Day One. He keeps the troops in order by day as he manages our busiest operation, the South Fork of the American, and busts out slick dance moves by night. Both professional and always ready to have a good time, 
Described by guests as “fabulous” and “undeniably kryptonic,” Angi is indeed one of the SuperStars–the Super Women one might say–of All-Outdoors. She walked into our office (and hearts, awwww…….) in 2005 and immediately became a member of the family. With this outpouring o’ love she’ll need her own fan club soon.
You know Pamela is back in town when a carton of farm-fresh eggs appears in the guide fridge and the smell of fried over-easies wafts about in the morning air. Maybe this commitment to morning nutrition is a way to balance the adventure of Winters spent in Fiji, excursions to Burning Man and summers spent sleeping on river banks all over California.
Naomi was raised on river rafting and began learning to guide from her dad as a kid. Even with this pedigree, however, her first year at AO wasn’t very auspicious, starting with her living under a bush at a local campground as it did. But she has since graduated to a real-life platform (and even a tent!) and has become one of our most dedicated and focused guides. Her commitment to her craft and her creativity and intelligence make her a favorite with her guests.
