I'm a map and compass nerd who is also a land survey technician. I've
been teaching map and compass courses since 2005 and have
hosted/organized 20-30 orienteering races/adventure races since 2003
(all before trail running became our focus)! I've participated in many
adventure races/orienteering races since 1999, including the
Eco-Endurance Challenge (every year they hosted it since 2003), a few
multi-day adventure races and I've been fortunate enough to be a
6-time participant at the Barkley Marathons....and I was even the
provincial orienteering champion at one time! Nerdy eh? I told you so!
