Born in the 50s
Where I went to school: SUNY Potsdam
I began my career as an Adirondack Wilderness guide in the 1990’s and worked for private individuals as well as the SUNY Potsdam Wilderness Workshop. As a compliment to my guide services I developed a body care and natural Adirondack perfumes manufacturing family business which I recently sold to my son & his wife Yen. I now enjoy my retirement hosting guests in several lovely short term rentals at my farm & a luxury apartment in Canton.
