With 26 years of guiding under my belt, I am a dynamic and enthusiastic professional naturalist/guide who has made a career of sharing nature with others.  My experience ranges from guiding multi-day backpacking trips throughout Glacier National Park to leading high-end natural history trips in various locations around the globe. I have dedicated my life to raising environmental awareness through relevant, first-hand encounters with our natural world. I am passionate about all things “nature” but also feel that incorporating culture and history adds relevance and insight to the experience. I am a current Wilderness First Responder and make the safety of participants, as well as the safety of the environment, a serious priority while at the same time providing a fun, educational experience that will stay with folks for many years to come.
