It's my life and spiritually... I'm not religious, get high for other reasons. Coordinator, University of Idaho Outdoor Program Mike has worked with the UofI Program for the past 23 years, first as Asst. Coordinator under Jim Rennie, the past 15 years as Coordinator. He also teaches in a curriculum program for the Division of HPERD and the College of Natural Resource, Dept. of Resource Recreation and Tourism. Prior to employment at the University of Idaho he worked as a Climbing Ranger for six years at Grand Teton National Park and as a Mountaineering Ranger at Wrangell St. Elias National Park and Preserve in Alaska. As a practitioner he has climbed throughout the World, kayaked many western rivers and in 91/92 took a year long 6000 mile bluewater sailing trip with his mate Teresa and 1year old daughter Genoa. Still though he feels his greatest accomplishments have been in organizing student trips and expeditions from the volcano’s of Mexico, many sea kayaking trips in the Sea of Cortez, to the summit of Denali, Mt. Logan, Mt. Kennedy, climbs in Ecuador, Peru, and of course down the many rivers of his home state Idaho. The greatest adventure of all, he claims, was helping to deliver his daughter Genoa.
