2. Wilderness
Experience:
While
the
experiences
listed
below
are
all
personal,
I
have
guided
or
lead
trips
in
all
the
titled
outdoor
categories
below
except:
biking,
snorkeling
and
paragliding.
Being
able
to
share
“once-­‐in-­‐a-­‐life-­‐time”
experiences
with
clients,
not
matter
the
scale,
and
see
the
wonder
and
satisfaction
on
their
faces,
is
one
of
the
greatest
rewards
that
any
guide
can
ask
for.
When
I’m
not
guiding
I
thrive
on
new
challenges,
out
of
the
ordinary
travels,
and
difficult
to
attain,
yet
breathtaking
views
rather
than
the
comforts
of
a
familiar
yet
great
adventure.
Backpacking
&
Snowshoeing
I
have
many
years
of
backpacking
experiences
in
many
locations
including
New
Zealand,
Iceland,
Utah,
Wyoming,
California,
Oregon,
Canada
and
Colorado.
Over
the
years
I
have
accomplished
many
local
favorites
that
are
not
well
know,
however
I
have
also
accomplished
some
very
well
known
trails
from
the
great
walks
in
New
Zealand
to
the
John
Muir
in
California.
Some
of
the
other
locations
I
have
backpacked
are:
Desolation
Wilderness,
Tahoe
National
Forest,
Eastern
Sierra
Nevada’s,
Big
Sur
National
Park,
Limekiln
State
Park,
Sequoia
National
Park,
Yosemite
National
Park,
Joshua
Tree,
Montano
De
Oro
State
Park,
Poly/Perfumo
Canyons,
Zion
National
Park,
Arches
National
Park,
Los
Padres
National
Forrest,
Inyo
National
Forrest
and
the
Ecuador
Cloud
Forest.
Kayaking
&
Rafting
At
home
I
am
known
as
a
water
baby
because
I
have
been
on
the
water
ever
since
before
I
was
born.
My
mother’s
water
broke
in
a
class
4
rapid
and
I
have
never
looked
back.
From
sea
and
lake
kayaking
to
solo
backcountry
whitewater
expeditions
I
love
being
in
a
boat.
Some
rivers
I
have
done
include
the:
Middle
Fork
of
the
Salmon,
Green,
San
Juan,
Rouge,
Grand
Canyon,
Tatshenshini,
South
Fork
of
the
American,
Black
Canyon,
Carson
River,
Rancheria
Creek,
Truckee
River,
Florestine
Gorge
and
Cash
Creek.
I
have
also
explored:
Lake
Tahoe,
Morro
Bay,
Santa
Margarita
Lake,
Lopez
Lake,
Abel
Tasman
Coast,
Big
Sur
coast,
Laguna
Lake
and
the
Galapagos
Islands
by
kayak.
Rock
&
Ice
Climbing
While
I
started
rock
climbing
at
the
age
of
six,
I
didn't
become
involved
in
ice
climbing
until
college.
I
have
climbed
some
classics
in
Tuolumne
Meadows
and
Yosemite
Valley
as
well
as
some
smaller
crags
and
peaks
in
Bishop,
San
Luis
Obispo,
Utah
and
Colorado.
Skiing
&
Snowboarding
I
have
been
on
the
snow
since
I
was
two
years
old.
I
can
alpine
ski,
telemark
ski,
snowboard
and
sit
ski.
I
have
explored
mountains
in
California,
Utah
and
Colorado.
Road
&
Mountain
Biking
In
the
past
2
years
I
have
gone
from
no
experience
with
bikes
to
designing
and
fabricating
my
own
frames
from
the
tubes
up.
I
now
have
thousands
of
miles
on
both
my
road
and
mountain
bikes.
Some
of
these
miles
can
be
attributed
to
bike
touring
the
San
Juan
Islands
and
the
country
of
New
Zealand,
but
a
lot
of
them
are
from
smaller
rides
such
as
the
Big
Sur
coast
and
Icefields
Parkway
on
my
road
bike,
to
mountain
biking
Utah’s
Slick-­‐rock
trail
and
parts
of
the
Pacific
Crest
trail.
Miscellaneous
Wilderness
Passions
Mountaineering:
While
my
mountaineering
experience
is
limited
to
just
a
couple
routes
including
Shasta
and
Weart,
I
have
still
taught
numerous
classes
in
avalanche
safety
and
snow
traveling
techniques.
Snorkeling:
I
have
snorkeled
Lake
Tahoe,
Galapagos
Islands,
The
Kiakoura
Coast
Line,
California
Coast
Line
and
am
looking
forward
to
learning
how
to
scuba
dive.
Paragliding:
I
have
begun
learning
how
to
paraglide.
So
far
I
have
kitted
at
Laguna
Lake,
Duck
Hill
and
the
Truckee
Fields.
I
have
also
had
several
tandem
flights
with
my
first
one
being
off
Marshall
peak
when
I
was
four
years
old.
