Max Akselrad

Junior Account Manager

Max was born and raised in New York City, growing up skiing the icy slopes of the Northeast. Although he loves his hometown, he welcomed the change of environment during his time at the University of Colorado where he studied public relations, advertising, and business while playing for the school’s soccer team. Before arriving at Verde, Max worked in PR for The New York Jets and spent some time in Los Angeles doing TV & film production and development before finally coming to his senses to pursue an opportunity that brought him closer to his passion for nature and the outdoors.

Max spends his free time training and exploring with his two dogs, and volunteers with a local dog rescue. He is incredibly passionate about anything related to skiing and is a bit of a gear nerd. He’s also a huge movie and TV-buff, and is strongly opinionated about pizza.
