About me
Favorite outdoor kicks: day hiking, backpacking, and camping. Also love rafting, canoening, and kayaking. I've been involved in outdoor leadership in local outdoor groups, summer camps, Boy Scouts, and have been licensed to guide hikes and camping in NYS. Favorite places to hike: Shawangunks, Catskills, Adirondacks. Enjoy teaching about and discussing packing, gear, and Leave No Trace ethics. Looking to expand my range beyond my NY backyard.Industry Segment
