For me, this business is about more than just running kayak trips—it’s about creating memorable experiences for guests and building a supportive, tight-knit team of guides who share a passion for the outdoors. I believe the best guest experiences happen when guides feel respected, empowered, and appreciated, so I work hard to create a workplace where everyone is valued.
I’m hands-on in the day-to-day operations, from training new guides to occasionally jumping on trips myself. I care deeply about fostering an environment where learning and professional growth are encouraged, where teamwork is second nature, and where laughter and camaraderie are part of every shift.
My goal is simple: to give our guests an unforgettable connection to nature and to give our guides a season they’ll remember for years to come. If you love the water, enjoy working with people, and take pride in your work, you’ll fit right in here.
