A Little Bit About Me, From The Heart
In 2016, I felt the pull of something even greater—the call of Alaska. I moved to the Interior, drawn by the endless frontier and the majestic mountains that have since become my playground. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of hiking, kayaking, mountain biking, rock climbing, skiing, and snowshoeing across some of the most rugged and breathtaking landscapes this incredible state has to offer.
With more than 30 years of outdoor adventure experience across the western United States, I’ve decided to take that passion and turn it into my life’s work. Today, I guide others on their own journeys through Alaska’s stunning wilderness, helping them connect with nature in ways that are as transformative as they are unforgettable.
Whether you’re looking for a challenging adventure or a peaceful escape, I’m here to share the beauty, serenity, and wild spirit of Alaska with you.

Ready For An Adventure Like No Other?
Let’s Pack!
Essential Gear for a WINTER Adventure in Alaska:
- Thermal base layers (top and bottoms) – Think of this as your personal “blanket” against the cold. Keep the chill out, all day long.
- Fleece or down mid-layer – For those moments when you need a little extra warmth but still want to move.
- Waterproof, windproof shell jacket – Because snow and wind are not your friends, but your jacket should be.
- Snow pants or ski pants (shell style) – For those moments when you feel like you’re walking through a snow globe. Stay dry, stay comfy.
- Insulated winter coat (rated for -50°F) – No, it’s not overkill; it’s just Alaskan winter. Stay cozy and protected, even if you feel like you’re living inside a snowstorm.
- Wool socks (two pairs) + boot liners – The secret to happy feet. Keep them warm and dry all day, every day.
- Wind-resistant hat, neck gaiter, and/or balaclava – Because the wind doesn’t care if you’re having fun, but your face should be protected.
- Insulated gloves and/or mittens with liners (rated for -30°F) – Keep your fingers toasty, no matter how frosty it gets. (Pro tip: mittens trap more heat than gloves!)
- Winter boots (rated for -50°F) – Strong, sturdy, and ready to take on icy trails and deep snow. Your feet deserve the best.
- Ankle support in your boots – Because icy trails and snowy slopes are much easier to navigate when your ankles are happy and supported.
- Goggles or sunglasses – For those days when the snow is bright, and the sun just won’t quit. Protect your eyes and stay sharp!
- Thermal neck gaiter or scarf – For extra face protection during high winds or low temps. It’s like a cozy hug for your neck.
- Hand and toe warmers – For when the cold gets extra serious, and you need that bit of extra warmth.
- Headlamp or flashlight – Days are long, but it’s good to be prepared for any unexpected late returns.
- Waterproof backpack or pack liner – Keep your gear, ALWAYS.
- Camera or phone – You’ll want to capture those breathtaking views (but keep it protected from the elements!).
- Snacks – Trail mix, energy bars, or anything high-energy to keep you fueled.
- Water bottle or hydration system – Stay hydrated, especially if hiking in remote areas where water sources are scarce.
- Skis – Because who’s going to navigate Alaska’s snow without them? You didn’t think snow was just for looking at, did you? (Snowshoes are provided.)
- A sense of humor – Because winter in Alaska is magical, but let’s be real… a good laugh is the best way to stay warm.
Essential Gear for a SUMMER Adventure in Alaska:
- Lightweight, moisture-wicking base layer (top and bottoms) – Stay dry and comfortable as you hike.
- Breathable, quick-drying hiking pants – Bonus if they’re convertible to shorts for those rare warm days.
- Moisture-wicking, breathable shirt – A long-sleeve shirt is great for sun protection and keeping the bugs at bay.
- Insulating layer (fleece or light jacket) – Alaskan weather can change quickly, and mornings/evenings can be chilly.
- Waterproof, windproof jacket – Always be ready for rain or wind; a lightweight shell works well.
- Hiking boots with ankle support (water-resistant or waterproof for creek crossing) – For stability on uneven, rocky or mushy terrain like tussocks, and to protect your ankles. Make sure they’re comfortable and durable for the long haul.
- Socks (wool or synthetic) – A couple of pairs to keep your feet comfortable and blister-free.
- Hat and sunglasses – Protect your eyes from the sun (yes, it’s bright in Alaska in the summer) and help shield your face from the wind.
- Gloves – A lightweight pair for chilly mornings or high-altitude hikes.
- Bug repellent – Alaska’s mosquitos and biting flies can be relentless during the summer!
- Sunscreen – Even on cloudy days, the sun can be strong up here.
- Waterproof backpack or pack liner – Keep your gear dry in case of rain or wet conditions.
- Water bottle or hydration system – Stay hydrated, especially if hiking in remote areas where water sources are scarce.
- Snacks – Trail mix, energy bars, or anything high-energy to keep you fueled.
- Camera or phone – You’ll want to capture those breathtaking views (but keep it protected from the elements!).
- Headlamp or flashlight – Days are long, but it’s good to be prepared for any unexpected late returns.
- A sense of adventure – Alaska is full of awe-inspiring landscapes, so be ready for the unexpected!
