I grew up in the Pacific Northwest and feel at home in the mountains, the deserts, the forests, and on the rivers of the Western States and Provinces. I have also been fortunate to travel and work all over the Américas. This great continent is special - sometimes I feel like it isn't that I choose to work to protect our communities and their wild rivers as much as the rivers and the landscapes have chosen me. The best part? I am not the only one - we ARE everywhere!
