"In the end we will conserve only what we love; we will love only what we understand; and we will understand only what we are taught." (Baba Dioum, 1968.)

I am passionate about helping outdoor instructors and educators. 🏕They are the gateway to creating the stewards of our environment.

I am guided by the following principles:

Respect for nature and each other.

Judgement-free. I applaud everyone - from the novice to the veteran - for showing up, staying curious, and engaging with the world around them.

Challenge and support. Moving beyond our comfort zone - with appropriate support - provides ample opportunities for growth.

Patience. All good things take time.

Compassion is our most valuable tool for understanding the world. I strive to lead with the heart.
