I have climbed, trekked, paddled, and ridden in countries all over the world, from single day expeditions to week-long adventures. I have explored some of the largest cave systems in Oman; circumnavigated the islands of Mykonos and Delos in Greece; and climbed Mount Nga in New Calendoia. As an expedition leader and outward-bound instructor, people put their trust and faith in me. The meticulous planning and the hard work that takes place during the days are all worthwhile when you see smiles of delight as adults and children enjoy a new sport, hear laughter as teams work together to solve a problem, and experience the buzz of people who have achieved challenges they never thought possible.
