Through nine years of personal expeditions and employment in the outdoor industry, I have learned the value of outdoor experiences in shaping young people. By working as a team to tackle an outdoor challenge with support from adults who care, young people break down the social norms of town life and develop a new healthy sense of self that is foundational for sound decision-making.
While engaging participants in fun and challenging activities, I hold each
participant accountable for reaching personal goals with dignity and honor.
My goal is to guide in a manner that empowers each person to grow into a
better gentleman or lady. I model
new behaviors by working as a team with my colleagues, happily performing
day-to-day tasks and providing positive support. Through my attitudes and
behaviors, I am able to gain the respect of young people while working with them
at their level.
