Meet your Guide

I grew up in the midwest but always had a love for the mountains. After college, my wife and I moved to Washington State. It was there that I finally got my chance to hike and climb in the mountains. I moved back to Michigan in 2007 when I started teaching science and physical education at Kalamazoo Christian High School and I've been bringing students from the midwest to the mountains ever since!
