🏔️ MEET GLENN JACKLIN — AN AUSSIE IN THE MOUNTAINS

How does someone from Melbourne, Australia, end up building a life and career in Big Bear? Glenn Jacklin’s story includes quite a journey — from Australia to Canada, Vail and eventually the mountain community he now calls home.

In the latest Big Bear Now, learn more about Glenn, his family, his years of service to the Big Bear Valley, his work with local parks and recreation, and why after more than 20 years in Big Bear, he says there’s still nowhere else he’d rather be.
