He is a master of creating off-trail routes, allowing him to savor solitude and relish the sense of accomplishment that comes with venturing off the beaten path.

As an elementary school educator, he's successfully integrated outdoor education into his curriculum and extracurricular activities. Notably, he created and supervised a Grades K-12 school site with a strong emphasis on Outdoor Education.
