After growing up on the east coast of Australia I have been drawn to the natural world. I followed my outdoor passions from childhood and studied a degree in Outdoor Education. Since then I have worked in the outdoor industry in Australia, and more recently, Canada. Throughout this time I’ve shared my passion through canoeing, whitewater kayaking, sea kayaking, rock climbing, hiking, and caving. I am especially drawn to river environments. I feel there is something inherently special about travelling on/with one of nature’s most powerful forces through incredible, often difficult to access landscapes. Much of my personal time has been spent rafting and kayaking on rivers across Australia, NZ, Nepal and Canada. I have succumbed to the draw of the big mountains and valleys of western Canada and am calling that home year round at the moment in between guiding seasons.
