When I started with OTT, they welcomed me with open arms to a world I had never seen before! The world of being a river guide has its many benefits and challenges along with it. With OTT, I was boosted with a sense of confidence on the water I had never experienced before. With the tools they provided me for success, it has opened up so many opportunities and the possibility for potential connections I can make with people in a setting nobody can say isn’t a great time. All around in my professional experience so far, you can’t beat some time on the water with good people!

  • Certifications: Wilderness First Responder, CPR and AED

I have been kayaking for 13 years, and the river has become my second home. I started guiding because I wanted to share my passion for whitewater and help others experience places they would never see from the shore. My favorite part of guiding is watching guests conquer rapids, build confidence, and leave with unforgettable memories. I love working with Orange Torpedo Trips because every day brings a new adventure, an incredible team to work alongside, and the chance to introduce people to the excitement and beauty of the river.

I started guiding with my best friend who I boated with in high school and it’s one of my favorite decisions I’ve ever made! I love being on the river, showing new people my favorite place, bettering my skills and knowledge with others, and having fun while doing hard things. My favorite part of guiding is watching people's faces after they did something they were nervous about and the fun to be had at camp after a great day. I love OTT because it feels like a family; guides are treated well, we have nice equipment, and I love the option of kayaking on every trip. OTT is the best!

  • Hometown: Eugene, Oregon
  • Favorite rapid or stretch: Snowhole Canyon and Blue Canyon on the Lower Salmon
  • Favorite part of a trip: When the sun goes down on a sandy beach and it’s time to cut the dutch oven dessert!
  • Certifications: Wilderness First Responder, CPR and AED, Swiftwater Rescue Technician, Trip Leader Certification, EMT, BSN, RN
