     Rich is a Master of Recreation Registered Maine Guide and has been trip leading and guiding in Maine for over 17 years.  He is a Registered Maine Guide and a proud member of the Maine Wilderness Guides Organization.  Born in Anchorage, Alaska, he grew up and has spent most of his life in the great state of Maine.  He has earned B.S. degrees in both Management & Accounting from the University of Maine, and is now working to complete his Masters degree in Education.  He is fully certified in Wilderness First Aid, and makes safety the number 1 priority on all of his trips.

 

     He is a middle school math teacher in the Richmond, Maine school department and has a great passion for working and teaching children.  Before getting into education, he spent over 14 years at L.L. Bean and has had the opportunity to use and test many outdoor products over the years, as well as hike and paddle all of the trails and waterways that he guides on.  On his canoe trips he is a stickler for details, and always ensures a safe, exciting and fun adventure.

 

     Cheryl has worked as a paralegal for over 20 years, but has recently gone back to school, part time, to pursue her dream of working as a full time nurse.  She has extensive experience in the Maine outdoors, and enjoys sharing her experiences with clients.  She is a master of organization, and like Rich, is a stickler for details, and always ensures the safety and well being of clients on every trip.       

 

     Rich and Cheryl live in a small log home in the woods in Mount Vernon, Maine and use their home as a base camp for operations.  With two young daughters who love the outdoors, and their energetic black lab "Baxter", they can usually be found hiking, backpacking or canoeing on a "Maine Trail".  

    

     Together as a team, Rich & Cheryl offer exciting outdoor experiences on several of Maine's waterways & hiking trails.  They stand behind their commitment to their clients in offering their skills & knowledge to coordinate your adventure and to provide a safe, legal and quality trip for you and your group!
