About Django Kroner
Django moved to the Red River Gorge when he was 19 to pursue rock climbing. He was apprenticing with a timber frame cabin builder and ended up building a tree house 45 feet up that he lived in for 3 years. As he lived there he saw how his tree house inspired people. He realized that he needed to share the canopy experience, with everyone, and that’s when he decided to start The Canopy Crew. Since that day he has been dedicated to life in the trees.

Holly– “6 years of slamming our loans is starting to pay off. It’s been an exhausting journey. I used to put more than half my income towards my loans every month and I used to feel guilty for buying myself clothes.
I drove my last 2 cars until they broke down (literally) and I only gave myself $100 a month for fun spending.
$78K loans combined between my husband and I and when we graduated in 2014. Now we only have $10K left to go!” #moneywin
