One of the Yukon's many colourful native sons, he is a true frontiersman who has taught several generations to love and respect the land. A trapper, outfitter, teacher and guide, he is equally at home in the wilderness as in the city, whether assisting with government projects, instructing at an outdoors camp for teenagers or teaching more humane trapping methods.
