Welcome! I’m a family man, proud father, and lifelong dog lover who’s always enjoyed a busy, happy home filled with laughter and wagging tails. For over 20 years, I dedicated myself to teaching, guiding and inspiring students in the classroom. I was never happier when outdoors, leading expeditions and enjoying my sport in the outdoors. I had always wanted a career working with animals (a once aspiring vet) that complimented my love of the outdoors. So, I’ve chosen to follow a new path, one that brings together my professional skills and my passion for animals and the outdoors.
As a teacher, I was the epitome of calm and patience - building a robust rapport with both students and parents. I have always had this familiar bond with animals too, often being told "I'm amazed, they normally don't like other people." Visiting friends, I always have a dog at my feet and a cat in my lap.
This business is born from the values that matter most to me: family, integrity, and making meaningful connections. I aim to create an experience that is welcoming, supportive, and rooted in the sense of community that’s always been close to my heart. Thank you for being part of this journey—I look forward to bringing the same dedication and enthusiasm to my new venture that I brought to every lesson in the classroom.
