== Personal life == Zettl is an outdoor enthusiast. He is an avid sea and whitewater kayaker and a whitewater rafter. He has guided numerous whitewater raft trips on class 5 rivers throughout California, and has guided wilderness descents of the Tatshenshini and Alsek Rivers in Alaska and a mid-winter descent of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. Zettl enjoys backcountry skiing and mountaineering, especially expedition climbing. He has led or co-led numerous climbing expeditions to the Alaska Range, the Saint Elias Range (Alaska and the Yukon), and the Andes of Ecuador, Peru, and Argentina. He has climbed technical routes on Denali, and completed a ski descent of Mt. Logan, Canada's highest peak. He has climbed extensively in the Sierra Nevada of California, the Cascades of the Pacific Northwest, the volcanoes of Mexico, the Alps of Germany, France, Switzerland, and Italy, the peaks of Morocco and Tanzania, the Alps of Japan and New Zealand, and in the Himalaya and Karakoram of Nepal and Pakistan. Zettl also enjoys designing and constructing amateur electronics, and building and operating off-road vehicles.
