My home is the west coast of Vancouver Island, British Columbia, Canada. I moved here 15 years ago and recently became a dual citizen. I’m a kayak guide and guide trainer with over 13 years of experience working in British Columbia, Antarctica, and Indonesia. My career has been spent navigating remote coastlines and sharing these places with others in a way that is safe, grounded, authentic, and fun. I focus on creating trips that balance adventure, awareness, fun, and respect for the environment—whether close to home or on the far side of the world. I work part-time kayak guiding for a few months each year. The rest of my professional time is spent as a project manager in salmon habitat restoration with a local non-profit organization. I love spending time outdoors, whether that’s rainy winter walks with my dog Wilson, canoe trips on a lake, or extended solo kayak adventures along the BC coast. I’m deeply in love and obsessed with the outside world and everything in it. The only things that reliably compete for my attention are ice cream and mangoes.
