Far far away, deep in the canyons of Rivers
The life of rivers came to me after doing a Mountainerring course in the Canadian Rockies. From it came the travel to Nepal and my first river journey. After a move to Banff, AB I learned more about rivers and started to guide rafts. A move to the Ottawa during the summer of 1999 opened my eyes to more locations and a bigger whitewater community. From there my interest continued and travel started with trips to Australia, NZ, Iceland, Scotland and more. Living on the Island full time now, I still spend a fair amount of time on the water, from teaching rafting at a high school and kayaking at Strathcona Park Lodge, the fall/winter/spring paddling here is grand.

Life on the river -
A typical day starts with ... Coffee
Then there is the setting up of breakfast, the breakdown of camp and the kitchen, loading boats ( getting it all back into the right spot), getting the clients set up for the day, doing a talk about what happens in the section we are running today. Then we get on the water... Downstream adventures await ... :)
