With about 30 years in public education  I have a good amount of experience in different areas including Career and Technical, Speical Education, and Social Studies.  I've coached some soccer (used to play too) and raised funds for United Cerebral Palsy with a Wheelchair Basketball game.  I've been married for like 75 years now. I have two kids, and two dogs. I am a Master Watershed Steward, Master Well Owner Network volunteer, a 4H volunteer, and recently started training to be part of a Community Emergency Response Team (CERT).  Someday I hope to be retired and grow garlic and cut firewood. 

With over 20 years of experience as an outdoor educator and a background in Environmental Education and Conservation Biology, I’ve taught in diverse settings—from U.S. nature programs to cheetah conservation work in Kenya. In 2019, I founded the National Outdoor Learning Alliance (NOLA) in Boise, Idaho, where I serve as executive director. Through programs like EverWild Forest School, NOLA empowers children to thrive through place-based outdoor education. I'm also a speaker, business coach, and passionate advocate for equitable access to nature.
