One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

4 Atlantic crossings on sailboat, we have seen too much and never enough a la vez.

Working in Alaska was amazing, challenging and very fun.

Teach, Learn, Share

We are fish whisperers, bring the fly rod and we will find the fish. We love to guide hunts for Elk & Deer.

Plus we can teach how to cook healthy food.

Did we mention sailing and canoeing? How about learning languages? We love to practice new languages!

Bridget likes to teach math; because it makes sense.
