The son of Bowdoin Outing Club Director Mike '87 and Lucretia Woodruff, Finn grew up in Maine and at Bowdoin. An environmental studies and music major at Bowdoin, he was an accomplished musician and visual artist, and he had an unbounded love for the outdoors. Beginning when he was a high school student, Finn taught BOC groups to paddle, ski, and--most of all--to celebrate every opportunity for adventure in the waters, woods, and mountains of Maine. In November 2021, while living in Washington and taking classes at Lewis and Clark University to finish his Bowdoin degree, Finn died in a kayaking accident on the White Salmon River.
