Best Memory:
That’s a tough one, there are so many! one of them; teaching the most rad 6 year old to whitewater kayak! But really just sharing the magic that is whitewater with amazing people!
Best Story:
Another tough one, so many amazing times on and off the river. But a couple summers ago, I was guiding a bachelor party down the river. We get to the first big rapid, hit the first big wave! Everyone goes flying back, and I go flying up and backflip out of the raft and into the rapid. I got myself back into the raft before the guys even knew I was gone!
Hobbies/Interests:
Kayaking, rafting and everything around whitewater! But can’t forget the winter; skiing and snowboarding as well!
