yrs experience

When I started with OTT, they welcomed me with open arms to a world I had never seen before! The world of being a river guide has its many benefits and challenges along with it. With OTT, I was boosted with a sense of confidence on the water I had never experienced before. With the tools they provided me for success, it has opened up so many opportunities and the possibility for potential connections I can make with people in a setting nobody can say isn’t a great time. All around in my professional experience so far, you can’t beat some time on the water with good people!

  • Hometown: Grants Pass, Oregon
  • Favorite rapid or stretch: Nugget Falls and the Green Room
  • Favorite part of a trip: The opportunity to get to know people and their life experiences, also the fact that we provide our guests with an experience that some have never seen before!
  • Certifications: Wilderness First Responder, CPR and AED

Guide and Office Staff

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.

  • Favorite rapid or stretch: Powerhouse Falls
  • Favorite part of a trip: Kayaking and meeting new people
  • Certifications: CPR and AED, Trip Leader Certification
