Bio: I’m originally from Virginia, USA, although I came down to New Zealand for the first time in 2002 and have been in love with the place ever since. I’ve guided all over the world, leading rock climbing expeditions in China, guiding trips in Thailand, Cambodia and Borneo and working as a snowboard instructor in Arizona. I have a degree in Environmental Journalism and Outdoor Education as well as plenty of personal experience rock climbing, hiking and mountaineering in
What our clients have said: "I was most impressed with Stephen. He was dilligent, hard-working, informative, supportive and helpful. He quickly recognized the individual preferences and personalities of the trip members and worked hard to ensure that everyone had worthwhile and enjoyable trip." "Steve was a good, safe driver and I feel really lucky that we had him." "Both leaders helped to make this trip so memorable. They were both very spirited, knowledgeable, patient and loads of fun." "Steve did a great job of making sure we were all having a good time. I saw him go out of his way more than once to accomodate the needs of people on the trip, dealing with lost luggage, arranging for pick-up, adjusting the trip to do things, stopping for wine when we were going someplace remote, suggesting places to go, eat or things to do, etc. I could tell he was doing lots of work 'behind the scenes' and it made the trip run smoothly. His passion for New Zealand and active adventures was obvious and infectious. He was easy going and had fun with us" |
