About

I did my first solo canoe trip (in Algonquin, Canada) in 2010 and have been paddling both kayaks and canoes in wild places ever since!  I've been coaching since 2012, helping people "get out there", whether that's a mini-adventure on their local stream or a month-long overseas expedition.  I'm passionate about accessing our planet's wild places.

Coaching Philosophy

I believe that confidence and competence are intertwined, and that building both together is the best way to become a happy paddler!  Patient and professional, I love helping paddlers discover their own path and finding their best adventures.
