I grew up in Ely, MN, and have been venturing into the BWCAW and neighboring area since I was 3. Experienced overnight camper, canoeist and motorboat and trailer operator. Well versed in using various outdoor equipment. I am experienced in problem solving when issues arise and have faced a variety of trail and lake conditions and weather-related events.

I am a descendant of the Bois Forte Band of Chippewa near Lake Vermillion in northern Minnesota. I care deeply about my family's past and wish to help many future generations learn about the amazing world that surrounds us.
