Jesse Weiss
Executive Director
Jesse has been the Executive Director here since 2018. He has spent over 15 years working at several Lutheran Outdoor Ministries. In his free time he enjoys building and fixing things, as well as spending time with his wife Kelli, son Aaron, daughter Clara and obnoxious dog Autumn. Jesse spends most of his time working at Amnicon’s Twin Cities Outpost in Eagan.
Contact Jesse if you have questions about how you can best support Amnicon, are interested in serving on the Board of Directors or have any other general questions or concerns.

Hannah Damon
Associate Director of Outreach & Administration
Hannah first encountered Amnicon in 2008 when she came to visit her friend Brad who was guiding that year, and started working here in 2014. In her free time she enjoys crafting, hiking, and cooking.
Contact Hannah if you have questions about signing up for a trip, bringing a group here on retreat, or reserving a cabin for yourself. Hannah can also help you with bookkeeping questions, and issues with the website.

Brad Damon
Associate Director of Program & Facilities
Brad’s first summer here was working as a wilderness guide in 2008. He considers Amnicon his “spiritual home” and is working his dream job. In his free time he loves playing board games, performing in local theater productions, and going on his own personal camping trips.
Contact Brad if you have questions regarding staff hiring opportunities. Brad also handles site maintenance and program development.
