I’m a graduate of the Northern Michigan University hospitality program, and I’ve spent the past several years building a career in outdoor guiding.

​

I started my career guiding a wide range of outdoor activities, where I quickly stepped into leadership roles and built confidence in creating meaningful, guest-focused experiences. Over time, I continued guiding in more rugged environments and eventually took on a lead role, where I learned how to blend adventure with a high level of service.

​

These experiences shaped how I guide today creating experiences that feel seamless, personal, and memorable.

​

In March of 2026, after a challenging winter season, I decided to stop building someone else’s dream and finally pursue my own. Baby Bear Outdoor had been an idea in the back of my mind since 2019.

​

With Northern Michigan as my backyard, it was time to stop running away and start building something of my own.

​

The name Baby Bear comes from a nickname my dad gave me as a child. He’s the reason I feel so connected to this area, and why creating something in Glen Arbor felt so important.​

​

That’s what Baby Bear Outdoor is built on
