Max Bellemare
Education Chair
I was first exposed to the outdoors through scouts, and while in Montreal for school, I volunteered as Gear Manager for the McGill Outdoors Club. There, I quickly started climbing all over Quebec, New England. In 2016, I moved back to Michigan and feverishly kept on climbing even if the closest crags were hours away. I become a member of the AAC in 2016; prior to that I was a member of the Alpine Club of Canada. I eventually got involved with the chapter helping organized events and become co-chair. As co-chair, I look forward to passing on my skills and knowledge to newcomers of the sport.
During the week I work as an Automotive Engineer, in my spare time however I enjoy to running, scuba living, skiing, backpacking and climbing. I have been blessed to have climbed in Quebec, Vermont, New York, New Hampshire, Ontario, Michigan, Kentucky, and New Zealand.
