General Info

Whether you are looking for a safe, fun adventure, or for expert instruction to take your skills to the next level, put my experience to work! I graduated from Yale University in 2000 with a degree in Ecology and spent most of a decade living out of a car, leading outdoor programs for school groups and climbing 100-200 days a year. I bought a house here in Joshua Tree in the fall of 2009 and this has been my home base ever since. I enjoy working with all ages--I've taught environmental education for 5th-graders, backpacking for high school groups, leadership in a college outings program, and backpacking and climbing for adults.Whether you are looking for a safe, fun adventure, or for expert instruction to take your skills to the next level, put my experience to work!
