Whit Overstreet grew up on a farm in the shadows of the Blue Ridge Mountains where he and his brother spent their youth roaming the forests and rivers of the Virginia Piedmont. After graduating from University of Virginia, Whit moved to Washington DC where he taught sailing instruction for DC Sail. After interning for American Rivers, Whit was brought on board by Potomac Riverkeeper. Whit’s home near Old Anglers Inn provides him easy access to the C&O Canal and the Potomac Gorge. He is often found out on the river in one of his many canoes, kayaks, or sailboats.
