About Me

I've been working for the College of DuPage Field and Experiential Learning program since 1994. Currently, I teach about 20 for-credit adventure courses a year, and manage operations at the Field Studies Center. Over the years I have developed and implemented over 100 successful adventure courses all over North America - from the colorful coral reefs off the Florida Keys to the alpine tundra of arctic Alaska. I hold numerous medical credentials including a Wilderness First Responder (WFR), Wilderness EMT (WEMT), an Emergency Medical Technician License and I'm also CPR certified.  In my free time I enjoy mountaineering, backpacking, climbing, kayaking, biking, making music and photography.
