Why Wilderness Tours?
I had recently graduated from the Outdoor Adventure Program, ODA, at the Algonquin college campus in Pembroke ON. I had done most of my training on the Ottawa river, kayaking, rafting, etc and became attached immediately. I am now entering my 6th season as a Raft guide/ Jump master on the bungee tower here at Wilderness tours.

Best memory:
Finally being able to roll a kayak consistently for the first time. Thanks for the patience fellow paddlers!

Best story:
For some reason coliseum (a large rapid on the Ottawa) and myself get along very well. A few of the senior guides noticed this and decided that since I was so "lucky" I should have to run it 5 times that day. Well the "luck" hasn't run out yet, you here me rookies haha.

Favorite Joke:
I like it silky and smoooth

Hobbies:
Kayaking, rock climbing, snowboarding, travelling.
