Gilbert Treadwell Even though I was born in Southern California and spent 2 years in St. Paul, Minnesota, I moved to Atlanta at the age of 8, in 1963, so I grew up in the South. My father Perry introduced me to camping and backpacking at a young age. I continued to enjoy the outdoors as a Cub, Boy and Explorer Scout. I went to Emory University, graduating in 1975 with a BS in Geology. Working as a Geologist was superseded by home-building and remodeling after I built my own house. I began Gilcraft Construction Co. in 1982, the year my daughter, Amanda, was born. Today my passions are most outdoor activities, including backpacking, rock climbing and river paddling. I also volunteer for a community service organization, Men’s Divisions International. I believe that instilling in young men an appreciation for nature and outdoor activities ensures them and their families healthy and successful futures.
