Shields’ outdoor adventure business an Austin success
Texas State University alumnus Robert Shields, owner of Hill Country Bob Recreation, says he has found a way to “play for a living.”
His Austin-based business offers outdoor adventures such as rock climbing, canoeing, mountain biking, tree camping, tubing and caving.
The 27-year-old Shields, who has a degree in recreation administration from Texas State, is a guide with Cypress Valley Canopy Tours in Spicewood during the day and runs Hill Country Bob Recreation on his off days and weekends.
“People told me I was never going to play for a living, but here I am,” he says.
