Garry Umbrich

Garry Umbrich owns Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs together with his wife, Carla Pitzel. He is a Canadian with a Transylvanian Saxon heritage and grew up in Edmonton Alberta. At 21, he moved to the Yukon, but has also lived in Quebec City where he did his graduate studies in management, in Montreal where Carla completed her studies in linguistics, and in West Berlin back when there was a wall dividing Germany. He and Carla have travelled extensively throughout the world, bringing their children (Andrew and Erik) with them as "luggage" as they used to call it. Garry's first career was working for First Nations, where he specialized in both business development and self-governance. Over a period of about 25 years, his First Nation work took him to Northern Quebec, to the Arctic Islands and throughout the Yukon where he clocked about 400,000 road miles.

Garry transitioned his career to hot springs in 1999 with the purchase of the aged Takhini Hot Springs, just outside of Whitehorse, the Yukon's capital city. After many years of renovations, of research and of endless delays due to rezoning challenges, lack of financing, and regulatory hurdles, Eclipse Nordic Hot Springs was finally built over a period of 5 years from 2017 to 2022. Today, he and Carla preside over Eclipse and their son, Andrew Umbrich, who is the General Manager.

Aaron McCallister

Aaron was born in Grand Junction, CO and has always had a love for Glenwood Springs as a child. After graduating high school, Aaron left Grand Junction for the big city (Denver) to study to become a chef. He attended Johnson & Wales University earning an A.S. in Culinary Arts and a B.S. in Food Service Management. He had the amazing opportunity to work at The Broadmoor, The Little Nell and Disney World, as well as many other restaurants in the Denver area. His passion for food has always been strong, but he missed customer service interactions.

After graduation he moved on to work at Whole Foods Market as a seafood buyer and then a Team Leader. For several years he helped open new locations and developed many strong teams and leaders within the company. In 2012 he moved to the Roaring Fork Valley to open up the Whole Foods Market in Basalt as the Associate Store Team Leader. After six years he moved on to his next journey and joined the Iron Mountain Hot Springs team as the Operation Manager in October of 2018. In 2019 he became the General Manager and has been leading this team ever since then. He enjoys the experiences our guests get when they arrive. From the daily pass holder that swings in before or after work, to the young couple that just got married, or the family that hasn’t had a vacation in years. People come here for the same thing and he is proud to be a part of that. Happily married with two young children, Aaron enjoys spending time with his family, fly fishing, biking, snowboarding, camping or home brewing beer.
