yrs experience

This was just a summer job, and now it is my career. I enjoy seeing the smiles and excitement on everyone’s faces when they get to go on our trips. I love hearing about their experiences at the end. How were the rapids? Did you ride the bull? How was fishing? How big of a fish did you catch? I can truly say I love my job and the people I work with.

  • Hometown: Merlin, Oregon
  • Favorite rapid or stretch: Mule Creek Canyon on the Rogue River
  • Favorite part of a trip: All of it, especially the lodge trips. The lodges are great!

River Guide

I’ve been coming on river trips with OTT since I was 4 years old. The river has always been, and likely always will be, my favorite place to be. I believe the Wild and Scenic River sections are some of the last places on earth where you can take a vacation that really allows you to be fully present with the people you care about. My favorite part of the job is watching kids come on trips and seeing their faces light up like mine did when I was their age.

  • Hometown: Portland, Oregon
  • Favorite rapid or stretch: Amazon Queen on the North Umpqua
  • Favorite part of a trip: Meeting all the awesome people who choose an adventure as their vacation!
  • Certifications: CPR and AED, Trip Leader Certification
