Originally from Michigan, I grew up with the luxury of having easy access to big open water all within just a few hours in any direction. This is what quickly kickstarted a deep passion for all things water sports, but I found a specific love for canoeing and kayaking on Lake Superior. For me, being on the water is like a meditation. It’s a pause from the real world and a moment to purely connect yourself with the nature around you and the vast ecosystems we coexist with. My love for being on the water and deep appreciation for the San Juan Islands grows more every day. Getting to share once-in-a-lifetime paddle experiences with clients on the water is one of the most rewarding parts of the gig, and I aim to be able to create those memories as well as share good conversations and laughter with everyone I take on the water!
