Meet MES: Matthew E. Sarracco, a former lieutenant and high-angle rescue technician of the Hamden, CT, Fire Department, with nearly two decades of service dedicated to saving lives in some of the most challenging terrains imaginable. During those countless mountain rescues, he learned that there's no room for error, especially on towering 700-foot cliffs. The foundation of safety and success, he discovered, begins with sourcing and trusting in reliable equipment, even on a municipal budget.

However, Matt's dedication to the mountains didn't end with his firefighting shifts. During his off-duty hours, he found himself drawn back to the mountains, chasing the allure of the 1,200-foot peaks in the New England ski and hiking areas. He soon realized that his passion for the mountains required the same level of reliability as his outdoor gear.

Now retired from the fire department, Matt has embarked on a new mission, one that's dedicated to serving the local outdoor community. At Mountain Expedition Supply (MES), our core values are reliability, exceptional service, and building a tight-knit community of outdoor enthusiasts.
