Life rarely moves in straight lines — and neither have Neil and Susan Amondson.


From a small logging community in Washington State to travels across all 50 states and seven countries, Neil’s journey has spanned public service in the Washington State Legislature and a long career in construction and natural resources. His life has been shaped by risk, resilience, and the belief that strong communities matter.


Susan’s path has carried her from hospital laboratories to mountain summits, from the depths of the Grand Canyon to the pilgrimage trail of the El Camino de Santiago. Her story is one of endurance, faith, curiosity, and the quiet strength to keep moving forward.


Together, their life reflects adventure, loss, growth, and gratitude — experiences that now inspire their podcast, Up a Creek with Neil, recorded here at ORPS.
