Danny Collins brings a wealth of expertise to EDG, with dual master’s degrees in architecture and business administration. After graduation he moved to New York City for 4 years and later moved to Ecuador where he worked as the Expedition Manager for a National Geographic Unique Lodge of the World. His career spans adventure tourism, outdoor recreation, architecture and development, where he has been committed to harmonizing the built and natural environments.
Family led him back home to the Ozarks and his passion for the outdoors led him to start 37 North Expeditions, an Ozarks-based adventure guiding service dedicated to making outdoor exploration simple, accessible, and socially engaging through fully-curated experiences. It's this same deeply rooted passion for conserving landscapes and fostering meaningful connections between people and nature that makes Danny a natural fit for EDG’s mission and vision.
His expertise and experience align seamlessly with EDG and our non-profit, studioDRIFT, which is dedicated to strengthening communities in the Arkansas Delta through outdoor recreation project development and activation.
“We’re not just building spaces—we’re building experiences. Places are experiences. Too often, the human experience is treated as an afterthought—something added once the space is complete."
