BIOGRAPHY
Matt Segal is among those dedicated early risers who tackle adventures of the day before the sun is up. It’s part of his job as a professional climber and National Geographic Explorer. But, Matt champions the idea that you don’t have to eat typical freeze-dried meals when you’re camping—that’s why he founded Alpine Start Foods and, from there, his YouTube series, “Never Skip Dinner.” At 4 a.m. at the base of any given mountain, you can find Matt heating up a cup of Alpine Start coffee, gearing up to start his day.

For Matt, rock climbing and cooking on his Traeger have both led him to a more flavorful life.
