As a local of the Inland Northwest, I am endlessly amazed by the opportunities for adventure that exist right in our backyard. I have spent the past 10 years working to connect others with the outdoors, and to share my passion for adventure. While in graduate school I immersed myself in whitewater recreation, teaching rafting and kayaking courses for EWU. After completing my graduate studies, I moved to South Florida to found the Outdoor Adventure program at Florida Atlantic University. I returned to the Pacific Northwest in 2012 to reconnect with my passion for whitewater, and to explore new adventures wherever possible. I now am drawn to the mountains, and spent weekends with my wife mountaineering and climbing in the summer, and ice-climbing and skiing in the winter.
