AMBITION IS THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS

SUCCESS

ABOUT ME

Eat, Sleep, Learn, Teach, Whitewater and Repeat. As a child, I learned to canoe the rivers of Southern Missouri with my father.  As a teenager I traveled to the Boundary waters of Minnesota and Canada.  Later in life, during a medical missionary trip, I paddled a dug out canoe on the Amazon I've passed on my knowledge of canoeing to my children.  I've always been an adventurer but the rivers are a place dear to my heart.  My father cautioned me never to venture into the rapids.  I held onto his words until recently.  The excitement  I feel while navigating a rain swollen creek or river is like no other.  It's become my greatest joy.  There are risks however, with the proper training I have received, I am capable to pass the joy of this sport onto others.  Please come join me on my journey and eventually you will find your own. I.m currently working as a guide on the St. Louis River near Cloquet, MN. Please Call, text or email me so we can get you started. Joe (402)990-0965, tyreyjoseph@yahoo.com
