My work: Owner, Operator@AuroraLodge
Fun fact: Was on a TV show - Ice Lake Rebels
My wife and I are nature lovers and outdoor enthusiasts who have been off the grid as Houseboaters for 16years. We love paddling canoes, kayaks, motor boating, swimming, fishing, hiking, nature photography and just being on the land and lakes. In winter, you'll find us out snow shoeing, cross country skiing, kite skiing, ice fishing, snowmobiling. Love hosting and sharing the history, knowledge and beauty of Yellowknife and the best Aurora
