Title: Instructor Age: 36 With Outward Bound for: 10 years 6 months
Why did you choose to join Outward Bound? Because it combines my love of the outdoors with my commitment to helping people shape their lives.
What are your favorite moments on course? Once I was leading a group of students up the Allagash River. We were poling the canoes, which is a difficult skill to learn. We traveled five miles up river this way, and when we finished, a Forest Ranger was waiting for us. He was smiling and told us that in the 18 years he had been with the Parks Department, he had never seen anyone pole canoes the last five miles of that river. He was so impressed he invited us into the station and cooked the whole patrol mooseburgers.
