yrs experience

I used to be a kindergarten teacher in another life! I found the pipeline to guiding in that it still feels like I’m herding cats sometimes, just in the most beautiful outdoor classroom. After leaving teaching and the Midwest, I guided for several years in Montana on the Alberton Gorge of the Clark Fork and Gallatin rivers. I found my way to the Main Salmon eventually and fell in love with multi-day river trips. You can’t beat sleeping under the stars, sharing meals on the beach with your crew, and the beautiful bond you form with the boat you get to tirelessly rig and de-rig day after day. I really liked getting to know customers more personally over 6-day trips and watching them connect with nature. I found a home with Orange Torpedo and now work my dream job with my best friends guiding the Salmon River every week. Life is but a dream!

I’ve guided for OTT on and off since high school. It’s a dream job, and I love sharing these beautiful rivers with people. I’ve worked in outdoor education, guided all over the Pacific Northwest, chased rivers all over (including a 20-day Grand Canyon trip), and taught swiftwater rescue and outdoor skills for several universities. In all my travels, I’m very proud to be on the OTT team and to help deliver our unique river adventures.

  • Hometown: Grants Pass, Oregon
  • Favorite rapid or stretch: The Lower Rogue lodges, the Umpqua in the rain, or a Main Salmon hot spring
  • Favorite part of a trip: Getting to share the river and all it brings with the group
  • Certifications: Wilderness First Responder, CPR and AED

Guide

I have been kayaking for 13 years, and the river has become my second home. I started guiding because I wanted to share my passion for whitewater and help others experience places they would never see from the shore. My favorite part of guiding is watching guests conquer rapids, build confidence, and leave with unforgettable memories. I love working with Orange Torpedo Trips because every day brings a new adventure, an incredible team to work alongside, and the chance to introduce people to the excitement and beauty of the river.
