I am an American Canoe Association Instructor Trainer in Whitewater and Coastal Kayaking.  I have been teaching kayaking for over a decade and teaching in general all my adult life.  What I enjoy most is introducing new folks to the sport of kayaking (whatever the discipline) and training new instructors.  I also enjoy traveling to new locations to teach at symposiums and workshops.

If you are looking for instruction - sea kayaking or whitewater; from complete beginner to advanced skills to instructor certifications - I can help.  I am based in Fort Bragg (Mendocino Coast) but often travel to teach on local rivers or down in the San Francisco Bay area.  I teach private lessons as well as group classes; on the river, ocean or flat water lakes.  My curricula are flexible and adjusted to the needs of the client.  Please email me with any questions or for more details.
