I live and play in the rivers and mountains of North Central Washington. My love for the outdoors started at a young age and has grown over the years to be an integral part of my life. My career in the outdoor industry has consisted of working for an outdoor retail shop, online retail site and guide service. My desire to explore has propelled me travel to many beautiful and remote parts of the world. Through these experiences I have learned a few tricks which I hope to pass along to you.
