The Team

Ed Anderson
Ed AndersonCreative Director
Ed Anderson’s career in the outdoor space has forever been evolving. After years of acclaim painting and publishing journals, the relationships have catapulted an international footprint based in Idaho. As the creative director for West Mountain Drifters, his graphic design has extended to a great client base and built the foundation for a booking showroom in McCall. Drift West began as a Spartan trailer in 2021 during the crush of Covid. It has spawned mobile showrooms traveling the country and the first permanent location opened in 2022. It has become the conduit between a network of guides, outfitters, lodges, and outdoor brands. Meanwhile, his guiding for Table Mountain Outfitters and McCall Angler, have spawned No Business Lodge, Silver Peak Ranch, and Florida Fish Camp as anchors for the outdoor experience.
