I’ve been working with the Adventure Tourism Business Operations program since 2005.
I’m an internationally certified Mountain Guide based in Golden, BC. I moved to the mountains from Ontario at 19 and started out as a ski instructor in Whistler. That first winter sparked a deep love for mountain landscapes and wilderness adventure. Eventually, I found home in the Canadian Rockies, where I’ve spent the past 20 years climbing alpine, rock, and ice, skiing, guiding, and teaching in the local ranges. Life as a mountain professional is both a dream and a challenge—full of personal growth, humility, and perseverance. It’s a real privilege to be able to share these incredible places with clients and students.
Working with ATBO students is always a pleasure. It’s an honour to be part of their journey—watching skills develop and new possibilities emerge is truly rewarding.
I try to keep everyone engaged in the learning process by meeting students where they’re at and creating opportunities for growth as mountain leaders. I’m especially mindful of supporting those in the early stages of learning to move safely and confidently through mountain environments.
