About Us
Greg Schlachter
Owner, Founder
Greg founded Expedition Broker around his lifelong passions of fly fishing, skiing, surfing, climbing and paddling. Although he had a few diversions with a short career as a post-collegiate pole vaulter followed by a stint racing mountain bikes professionally, he can now be found exploring the backcountry surrounding his home base of Haines, Alaska.
Over the years he has created a vast, World-wide network of professional guides, many of whom he is fortunate enough to consider friends and partners in adventure.
Expedition Broker
Our base of operations in Haines, Alaska is a mecca for the world's finest guides and big mountain athletes, and allows us the extraordinary ability to get to know guides from every corner of the planet.
We have more than likely skied, fished or paddled with the guides that will be leading you during your travels. We view these outstanding guides as family, but more importantly we fully trust them to keep you safe and offer the best possible backcountry experience.
