Meet Our Team

Dan Bostedt

Dan was born in Northwest Montana and raised in Northern California, where he loved to go gold panning and run around the Sierra Nevadas as a kid.  After joining the Marine Corps in 1997, he became plank owner of 2nd FAST Company and served as an assaultman with 2/7 Golf Company, the “Gunfighters”.  He spent his last 3 years in the Corps as a member of the instructor staff at the Dynamic Entry School at Quantico.  

After the Marine Corps, he served as a Park Ranger with Virginia and Oregon state parks.  Additionally, he facilitated outdoor challenge courses for 7 years with Challenge Discovery and Challenge Sonoma, helping provide experiential training, team building, and personal growth.   Regardless of the ‘where’ and ‘when’, he has always loved the outdoors and enjoy sharing it with others.

Dan admits, “I’m a family man. I love Jesus and my family.” He and his wife Tiffany started their family in Virginia, but moved to Joseph, Oregon, in 2018  where they live with their 5 beautiful girls who help them manage their small farm.

He currently serve as the scheduling coordinator and lodge host for Cross The Divide programming in Joseph, Oregon.  This past year, he was able to host Cross The Divide’s first horse camping trip, and was humbled to receive the honorary title of  “chaplain’s chaplain” during one of our personalized backpacking trips.  

In 2024, he’s looking forward to hosting our veteran participants and their families at the lodge while continuing events on the trails of Wallowa County that serve our nation’s warfighters.
