Adventure. Expertise. Storytelling.

I want to inspire, educate and entertain. The wonder of the chase fuels the pursuit of the story, whether we are in Alaska, southern Africa, on the slopes in New Zealand or hunting and fishing in Oregon. I like to tell the stories of people, ghost towns, backcountry and life in the wild. If you need a speaker for a banquet, a flyfishing club, a critter club chapter or a church group, let’s talk.
