Marc Privitera

Marc Privitera is a vintage backpacker, cyclist, skier/snowboarder, musician and tinkerer. And he’s a pretty good chemical engineer. He can be found skiing and snowboarding most of the winter out west. He spends summers hiking and cycling in different parts of the country. He is known to build crazy stuff like water slides, tree houses and zip lines with all his nephews and nieces back at the Ellisburg, NY 1876 Schoolhouse. That is a story in itself. He likes to play guitar and sing. So, when the request was made by a passing neighbor for him to take his guitar and go play it in the woods, he could not resist. There’s a lot more about this guy you might want to find out. Just head to the AT and listen for some singing. It just might be him. Marc goes by Flat Pick out on the trail.
