Sidney Smith was born with a love of the outdoors. As a young kid, he loved the hunting season, camping with the family and being in the mountains. Sidney grew up in Provo, Utah, and went to school at BYU Idaho. There, he met his wife Lori. Together, they started their family in Lake Powell, Utah, where he started his career in the hospitality industry as a hotel general manager and fell in love with living the lake lifestyle. Together they now have four beautiful children: three girls and one boy. The beauty quality all comes from their mother.

In 2015, Sidney had a life-changing moment where he lost both of his legs below the knee. His amputation story and going through his life trials taught him ways to overcome fear and adversity while making life more interesting and full of adventure and gratitude.

Sidney has lived in Vernal, Utah, for the last 13 years and works as a Business Account Executive for a local phone, cellular and internet provider. He is a double amputee, triathlete, outdoorsman and does a little public speaking on the side. Sidney also runs a nonprofit organization that provides outdoor opportunities for people with impairments called Disabled Outdoorsmen.
