As the Founder of Purple Rope Adventure School, I bring 30 years of experience as a guide and an outdoor educator, so in those 30 years, I've cultivated a deep passion for the natural world. One of my greatest joys is sharing the beauty of nature with others through outdoor experiences. Throughout my career, I have developed and led activities such as rock climbing, caving, canoeing, sea kayaking, navigation, outdoor leadership, hiking, and out-tripping.
