My Story
I have worked in Outdoor Leadership Education, academically for over ten years. I have worked at multiple camps in and out of the United States developing camp leaders and discipling families and individuals. I have a deep background in outdoor skills, including Search and Rescue and WEMT that began from the Professor/student advising relationship many years ago. I am thrilled to pass on what was given and modeled to me!
