I have been embarking on adventures for as long as I can remember.  Rowing the Grand Canyon, Sailing through the Panama Canal, and bush whacking up a drainage choked with old growth rain forest in the Olympic National Park are a few of the more memorable ones. I enjoy guiding in the mountains because the rugged and sometimes harsh environment demands our very best.
