He started working in the wilderness therapy field around 2012, taking on responsibilities such as leading an inner-city outdoor youth program, working with wilderness immersion students in the field, supporting the admissions process, and other administrative and organizational needs. He holds an MA in International Business which he earned while living abroad. He has gathered a range of experience, including with the US State Department, management roles for a large service company, and even as a Coast Guard licensed charter boat Captain.
