About me
I love to continually explore, learn, and make connections with new people.
The Best Part of My Job
Being able to impart my love of wilderness and water to anyone who wants to gain a better understanding
How I found OARS
I was lucky enough to fall under the leadership of a mentor who motivated me to find new things to love in the great outdoors.
My Favorite Spot on the River/Outdoors
One of the most amazing trips I have taken was through the Grand Tetons. The last night of the hike, we were in the most beautiful valley, looking up at an amazing sky and basking in all the glory.
My Favorite Trip Memory
Climbing down into a boat pinned at the top of Ruck-a-Chucky Falls.
My Lucky Charm
Always wear a helmet.
I Can’t Live Without
Hand salve.
