Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean –roll!
Ten thousand fleets sweep over thee in vain;
Man marks the earth with ruin –his control
Stops with the shore.
Lord Byron

After 25 years in the corporate world, I found myself "divorced" from my senior marketing position. So time for a change; out of the corporate-world and into the big wide-world and to put my passion for sea kayaking to use!
I have both ACA (American Canoe Association) and BCU (British Canoe Union) sea kayak training. I am a certified Coastal Sea Kayak Instructor with the ACA and Level 3 Sea Coach with the BCU. I am also a Wilderness First Responder and Leave No Trace Trainer.
I first started paddling in the UK where I was born and raised. My kayaking started in the 1970's as a Boy Scouts for the canoe merit badge. I went on to complete my Eagle Scout expedition in a kayak. During this time, I started racing as a junior K1 with the Wey Kayak Club (in Guildford, UK). During the summer months, I also taught youth kayak programs for the local city parks and recreation department.
I have paddled extensively in the UK, up and down the California coast, the Pacific Northwest, Alaska and British Columbia. I currently operate from Bainbridge Island, WA.
I love the challenge of open coast paddling, but also get great enjoyment from the many sheltered and inland waterways where wildlife abounds. My philosophy regarding life, and kayaking is simple: To have fun!
See you on the water,
Rob
