I've been extraordinarily lucky: Traveling to more than 50 countries, guiding for 10 years in Alaska and Oregon, living in Central Asia and experiencing quite a bit along the way. All while managing to develop a few good stories. In between teaching, a 2 year old and a wife in grad school - I also started a new direction by starting a career in art. Here is art, travels and other aspects of my life.

John Day Trip with 7th graders


Yet another spring and another spring trip with a posse of kids from school. For the second year I've lead a group of students on a mulitday trip down Oregon's John Day River. Not the most hardcore river in the west, it is a great introduction to boating for a bunch of 13 year olds. Being May in the high desert means the weather varied from snow to hot sunny days. All in all, we had a good trip. Not too much drama, good weather (overall), great food and everyone came home healthy, happy and tired.
