An BOLD EARTH trip leader since 2004, I have lead Ultimate Colorado, Bold West, Bold Europe, China, and Wild Coast Discovery. I've dabbled in all kinds of outdoor education, and I've acquired the whole gamut of titles: trip leader, wilderness instructor, naturalist, counselor, teacher, Wilderness First Responder...the list goes on. Sharing my passions for people, new experiences, and the outdoors with others is what I do, and I love it.
What BOLD EARTH means to me?: BOLD EARTH is a haven for fun, imagination, new friends, and just getting down and dirty with nature. I wouldn't come back year after year if it didn't provide the greatest trips, kids, leaders, and summers of my life. Where else are you given a new little "family" of amazing people and then get to travel around with them and reinvent summer?

What I do when I'm not at BOLD EARTH: My latest and greatest hobby is longboarding, but I enjoy running, biking, skiing, climbing, traveling, learning languages, reading good books, laughing with good people, and acquiring new hobbies.
