I always loved being in the outdoors while growing up, and learning everything there is to know about nature and the environment. I personally struggled with drug and alcohol abuse when I was a teenager. Through outdoor programs and working as a guide in the outdoors, I found that it is my passion to teach and share skills that I have learned with youth who have had similar struggles in their own lives. I firmly believe teaching in the outdoors greatly helps to facilitate self-discovery. I also use photography as an outlet to inspire others to get outside and enjoy the beautiful places we are lucky enough to live in. I enjoy being able to capture and share moments with anyone who is interested in the great outdoors!
