Katie Ruggle

A graduate of the Police Academy, Katie Ruggle received her ice-rescue certification and can attest that the reservoirs in the Colorado mountains really are that cold. A fan of anything that makes her feel like a bad-ass, she has trained in Krav Maga, boxing, and gymnastics; has lived in an off-grid, solar- and wind-powered house in the Rocky Mountains; rides horses; shoots guns; cross-country skis; and travels to warm places to scuba dive.
