About Me

I currently work in the outdoor industry as a Mountain and Ski Guide. Avalanche hazard management is a part of my daily working (and recreational) life, hence my interest in this topic.

My personal qualifications include Avalanche Safety Management Stage 2, attained in 2004 through the Otago Polytechnic, New Zealand. It is the highest qualification offered in New Zealand. However learning with regards to avalanche hazard management is never complete.

If you have any feedback about the website or something to contribute please contact me and I will get back to you as soon as I get down off the mountain!
