Pete is originally from Vermont but has spent time living in Colorado, Wyoming, and on the West Coast. Pete has been a guide for over 18 years and has run rivers all over the United States - including the upper Tuolumne (Cherry Creek) in California, considered the toughest regularly-run commercial trip in North America - as well as rivers in Nepal, India, Costa Rica, Argentina, and Chile. He has a degree and professional experience in landscape architecture and further education in civil engineering and ecology, but guiding, traveling, and his love of wild places lead him to start Momentum River Expeditions. He is also a board member for Oregon Guides and Outfitters, the Save the Wild Rogue Campaign, and works closely with the Southern Oregon University Outdoor Program. In addition to his river-running skills, Pete is also a great cook (he grew up in a restaurant), and it turns out that he is also just a mildly annoying boss.
