Adventure

I love adventures and hope that my whole life is filled with many of them. I have been fortunate enough to spend a lot of time bringing youth and adults into various Canadian landscapes through canoe trips. On this page I outline a few of the notable trips I have guided professionally and also highlight some personal adventures. I love photography, especially film photography, and took a lot of the pictures shown.
