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.

Boatin' on the Payette

Considering we likely ran the Payette at least a dozen times by mid June last year, we are a little behind schedule. Since Grandma Jean was in town, we took full advantage of the opportunity and made it only the third time since February where we were able to get out of the house together without the wee-one. Not that I am complaining, we are certainly still pretty active, but it is nice to do the things we like, together. I don't think Syndey is quite ready to hit the river with us.

Jeff was in town with Krista so we planned all along for a float. Jeremy, as always, was willing to drop everything and hit the river.


With all the warm weather and heaps of rain, the river is crazy high. Something like 12,000 cfs (or more).
