About me

Birds, puns, kelp forest ecology.

The Best Part of My Job

Taking people down rivers! And showing them cool plants and animals.

How I found OARS

I got interested in river guiding because I was a passenger on an OARS Grand Canyon trip. It was all downhill from there.

My Favorite Spot on the River/Outdoors

I love kelp forests. I also love Idaho's rivers, and the people I get to work with there.

My Lucky Charm

Keeping my teeth clean.

I Can’t Live Without

Sunglasses. And sleep.

My Fun Fact

I can do some great animal impressions with kitchen utensils.
