What’s your favorite rapid and what makes it special?
My favorite rapid is Third Threat on the South Fork American — because I still haven’t managed to inflatable-kayak it upright.

Why do you love working for Mother Lode River Center?
I love seeing kids push past their comfort zones and come out the other side with a huge grin. Watching those moments happen never gets old.

What’s one of your favorite adventures?
One of my favorite adventures was hiking the Annapurna Sanctuary Trek in Nepal. An unforgettable combination of mountains, culture, and challenge.
