I came to BOSS because:

I was looking for a challenge. I had been to other programs (NOLS, Tracker School, Teton Science School) and felt BOSS was a step above in its program intensity and authenticity. I wasn’t disappointed. David Wescott was a phenomenal owner and program leader and David Holliday and Mike Ryan were simply the best duo as instructors on my first BOSS course. I ended up returning again and again, eventually becoming an apprentice, instructor, marketing director, and then owner for 17 years.

Why I'm on the board:

BOSS has evolved a lot over the past 57 years. My years at the school (1988-2013) saw a lot of growth in visibility and enrollment, and I'm happy to help the school and staff with whatever wisdom or insights I may have from “back in the day.”
