As our need for the natural world increases it appears our understanding or knowledge of how to recreate or explore safely seems to decrease. Most explorers learn about the outdoor environment through family, friends or other peers. For those who grew up in cities or families where spending time outdoors was not typical there have been few resources to provide the necessary knowledge. Through my own exploration and work in the backcountry, I have recognized the importance of my own education. I have realized the value of teaching others important skills. It is in this vain, I have committed myself to passing along the information I have learned over the years.
Currently I teach through the following institutions:
- Colorado Mountain College
- Red Rocks Community College
- Outdoor Stewardship Institute
