Thanks for checking out my guides and website. I have a passion for my country’s national parks, places which have inspired me a whole different way of thinking and exploring. My goal with this website is to share content and information for the would be adventurer who may not know a lot about America’s parks. As you might know, there is so much information regarding these parks that I probably will have left out of my guides – and for this, I apologize for leaving them out. I encourage you to share your thoughts, experiences, and personal stories on my guides so that all readers can get the full amount of information before they head out into the parks.

My experience with the America’s national parks started at an early age, which is the exception for most people that I know. When I was young, my parents took me and my brothers to the Smoky Mountain National Park, the Grand Canyon, and Rocky Mountain National Park, as well as several battlefields and monuments. While I was in university, my brother and I visited Zion and Bryce Canyon during a road trip to see family in Arizona. I always knew that these places existed, but it wasn’t until I really explored these areas, mainly because of my jobs, that I became so passionate. Immediately after graduating from university, I had an internship at a private museum on the Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument in Southeast Montana. While I was here, I was able to visit Yellowstone, the Grand Tetons, Mount Rushmore, and Pompey’s Pillar. Therefore, I was being more and more exposed to the NPS system which dominates the Western USA. However, my desire to explore all of my country’s parks really peaked when I had a guiding position based out of California.

In May of 2014, I was given the chance of a lifetime to be a Trip Leader taking folks around the American West. The places my company went to were distinctly Western American – Las Vegas, Grand Canyon, Yosemite, San Francisco, and more. I had a young man’s dream, as most of my clients were European Au Pairs about to head home abroad. As their guide, I took them all over California, Arizona, and southern Utah. In my current roles, I take folks around Yellowstone and the Grand Tetons in the summer, while in the spring and fall I take folks around Savannah, Charleston, and Beaufort along the Southeast coast. These trips are either all bike or multi-sports adventure. Needless to say, my line of work allows plenty of time for me to explore not only the national parks, but the entire country I feel so lucky to be apart of.

If you have any questions, comments, or something you’d like to say, please let me know!
