Learn Online

Browse my online learning resources by category (located at the bottom of every page) -- Essentials, Equipment, Knot Craft, Anchors, and more--to find exactly what you need. But here's my recommendation: start with Essentials first. This foundational section covers the critical frameworks that separate those who merely know techniques from those who truly understand them. Many of the articles integrate video instruction, with guided learning paths and online courses in development. These resources aren't just about memorizing steps--they're about understanding the principles that will make you a confident, capable problem-solver in the field.

Learn Hands-On

I help experienced canyoneers and aspiring guides transform from technique-dependent followers into confident canyon leaders who can safely guide others through complex terrain using improvisational decision-making skills that work when routes don't match the beta and conditions turn dangerous.

I help rescue professionals and dedicated volunteers transform from gear-heavy, protocol-dependent responders into efficient problem-solvers who can execute complex rescues using ultralight systems and improvisational techniques that work when standard equipment fails and scenarios don't match the textbook.
