The Best Part of My Job
The fact that even though I’ve been a river guide since 1993, each trip offers a unique opportunity to connect with people and nature.
My Favorite Spot on the River/Outdoors
Tate Creek Falls natural water slide on the Rogue River is the place where I fell in love with nature when I was 14.
Favorite River Tradition
My special river tradition is to convince guests to try something new on their trip. This may be swimming a rapid for fun, jumping off a rock, or eating Jicama.
I Can’t Live Without
Half and half for my coffee.
My Fun Fact
My special talent is making perfect bacon on river trips.
