My story...
I like my students to have a hands on experience. Nothing builds confidence like actual "dirt time". Learning the skills needed to survive without modern conveniences gives the student a sense of accomplishment and shows them what they can achieve.

Short Bio
I've lived in Michigan my whole life, and grew up camping and hiking with my family. As I got older I started backpacking and then delved into actual survival training. I am certified in basic, intermediate and advanced survival; as well as wilderness and remote first aid. I enjoy bushcrafting and practicing folk skills and getting out in the great outdoors whenever possible
