Employee Spotlight: Morgan Sjoblom


I grew up in Salt Lake City having the beautiful wasatch range in my backyard. I would hike with my family here and there and snowboard a bit in the winter. As far as outdoor activities go though, I didn’t get out very often. Definitly not compared to now! It wasn’t until moving back to Utah, after attending Georgia State University, that I really got into outdoor activities. The south was great but I knew that I wanted to be back out west and working in the outdoor industry. The month I moved back I started working at Liberty Mountain. Ever since it has been an adventure in and out of work.

Job title: Graphic Designer

Short description of what you do at Liberty Mountain: As a designer in the marketing deptartment I work on a variety of visuals. Everything from digital, print, packaging, and products.



Active in the following sports/activities/hobbies: I have so many activities and hobbies that I do. Almost everyday after work (and sometimes before) I teach and learn aerials. I like to spend my sundays at the park doing AcroYoga and get out to the climbing gym a couple of times a month. When I find time inbetween those, I enjoy cooking and art projects.

Here are a couple videos if you want to check out the circus side of my life:

Favorite outdoor areas: I love going to beaches and the mountains. This year I was lucky enough to visit 3 national parks: Grand Teton, Glacier and Grand Canyon (photos below). I also went on my first backpacking trip in the Tetons and accidentaly hiked the longest distance in my life, just a leisurely 20 MILES! I almost didn’t make it back to the campsite that day...

Cake or pie: Red velvet cupcakes count right?
