My Legacy: Transforming Outdoor Recreation with Impact
Through hands-on programs, trail stewardship, and education, I've empowered thousands to thrive outdoors in Central Oregon and beyond. This legacy of action fuels my mission to simplify access, strengthen communities, and inspire growth through public lands everywhere.
I've led over 919 guided programs, empowering individuals and groups to explore the beauty of the Outdoors while fostering respectful recreation.
I've stewarded 222 unique trail miles, blending exploration with care to sustain our Public Land's paths for the future.
Through workshops and adventures, 19,644+ people have embraced outdoor knowledge and stewardship in Central Oregon and beyond.
My 7-pillar RESPECT ethos, born from this work, inspires you to grow through outdoor recreation and connection.
