He grew up running the trails through tropical forests and setting campsites up on the beach. He also grew up in hurricane alley where he needed to learn what to do to survive when you're cut off from the modern world. Moving to NYC from the Caribbean required of him to find an escape from the concrete jungle that was now home. He discovered and fell in love with the hundreds of miles of trails north of NYC. This love gave him the drive and passion to teach others about the outdoors. Click Here for a CLASS PASS and SAVE!
