Nature and wilderness my home. I was born and raised on Vancouver Island, and living between the mountains and the ocean has shaped who I am. When I see the impact we humans have had on these incredible ecosystems over the course of my life—and how important it is to protect them—I want to get involved with Wilderness International.

These ecosystems give us so much every day. That’s why I want to do what I can to give something back to them and help protect them. In this way, I can help ensure that my children can wilderness and play in the wilderness , and that nature teaches them who they are and what they can become—for future generations as well.

When I'm not working, I'm on the boat or skiing with my family, taking time to unwind and enjoy this wild place we call home. My involvement with Wilderness International and the path this great organization has taken allows me to take action. It allows me to give nature a voice before it is too late and these ecosystems are gone forever. I am truly grateful to be part of WI and hope that it inspires more people to take action for nature as well.
