I am currently President of American Whitewater and have served for four years on its Board of Directors. I am also the President & CEO of the Nantahala Outdoor Center. As a volunteer for American Whitewater, I have led major stewardship efforts on the Tallulah, Green, and Ocoee rivers, chaired several board committees, served as director of AW's StreamKeeper program, and was the proud co-conspirator of the annual "Thing at the Tallulah" river and film festival.
