Tami Jo Benson

Sisters Tami Jo Benson & Amber Hodson are Rookie Rebelles, also new to off-roading and rally competitions! But they are no strangers to reading each other’s minds and crafting all kinds of shenanigans. Their 2004 Nissan Xterra, Rio, rounds out team #136, Plottin' & Schemin'. 

The results are in: Team Plottin' & Schemin' ranked #6 of 19 rookie teams and 27th overall. 

A discovery platform of outdoor brands for and by women. Elevating women's voices, work and expertise throughout the outdoor industry. Outspring is on a mission to make the outdoors more accessible, comfortable and fun! 

Trusted Product and Operations leader with a 10 year proven record leading teams with high quality and on-time delivery. Relentlessly resourceful in solving complex problems with insightful solutions for customers. Confident navigating new technologies and iterating amidst ambiguous, fast-paced start-up environments. 

Event management for conferences, makerspaces and festivals. Consistently executing quality, fun and engaging events.  

Passion projects including outdoor exploration, youth leadership and sustainability.

I love a project with an opportunity to learn new skills or try out a power tool. Bonus points for projects that upcycle seat belts or event signage!
