Hometown :
The High Country of Boone, North Carolina is where I call home.
Favorite rivers :
Living in the Southern Appalachian Mountains I am blessed to be surrounded by countless tributaries and rivers, each more ancient, mysterious and beautiful than the next. The Doe River Gorge, a stunning, wild example of technical Appalachian whitewater, is one of my favorite places to paddle. The Nolichucky Gorge and Ocoee River are two favorites for powerful, exhilarating experiences.
Favorite boats :
Each time I paddle my Esquif Ocoee I share a living history of open canoeing with those I encounter. Esquif’s homage to Frankie Hubbard’s legendary design gives me the opportunity to make the most technical river maneuvers and inspires me to become a better paddler. The compliments my Esquif Ocoee gets on the water are also very flattering!
Most memorable moment on water :
Tandem canoeing the Rivière Dumoine with my daughter Katherine is a memory I cherish. We paddled our Pocket Canyon from Grande Chute to the Ottawa River and experienced classic Canadian wilderness for the first time. The planning and practice we completed for this trip bonded us and the experiences on the water challenged and inspired us.
