Steve and Tawni

Back in the Dark Ages of rafting, Steve's dad gave him and his young family an old, worn out, US Air Force raft that was sun faded and had patches on the patches.  It was called "The Orange Peel" and had to be bailed constantly. They all fell in love with rivers and rafting and no one else much was ever on the rivers in those days! Two of their three kids became seasonal professional river guides while studying for their engineering degrees at University of Idaho.  Weekends on the river started sometimes as early as February on the Payette River and ended in Hells Canyon in late October.  Ryon, Steve's eldest, got a graduation present of a first descent on the upper Mekong River in China near the Himalayas.  Steve and his wife Tawni followed a few years later with their own first descent credit in Tibet (in a yakskin coracle!).

Marketing Incept inflatable boats is a natural extension of their entrepreneurial spirit and living in Idaho.  Steve owns and runs a successful, multi-million dollar marketing business and Tawni is an independent CPA in "remission", as Steve likes to say. They are thinking about retiring soon, but this just might mean more float trips! The fact that they live in Boise, Idaho, reminds them every day of the uniqueness and the wonder of the mountains, canyons and rivers they share with family, friends, and of course Incept customers.

Steve and Tawni have been attracted to what they see as Incept's high quality, New Zealand hand crafted range of inflatable boats and Steve says, "Please join us. We look forward to having you join our growing INCEPT family!"
