About host
B&
Bruce & Paula Cote
Bruce and Paula love the outdoors and want to share that experience with others. When they hiked the Appalachian Trail in 2012, it transformed their lives in ways they didn't imagine. They experienced tremendous peace while hiking, enjoying the solitude of the trail, marveling at the birds, and soaking in the simplicity of hiking. Bruce worked for many years as a pastor and also owned a financial planning business. He got his start working for General Electric Company in corporate finance. Paula worked as a special education teacher for many years. She is wonderful with children! They have two children - Jessica, who is now in heaven, and son Joshua, who lives in the Boston area.
