It's All for the People...

It took me a few years to realize that the service industry is where I'm most comfortable. I realize this each day i continue working here at Pro. I take great pride in showing people a good time, in sharing laughs, havinmg great days and better nights.
Being a guide is so much more than safely bringing people down the river, at the root of it all is the wholistic recreational experience, the experience that brings positive change to an individuals life. (re-creation and recreation are the same thing)
So the other night I'm out recreating with all the guests, making sure they recieve any assistance per need. Of course, what many of them seemed to need was for me to hang out with them, tell them more about the river, eat, drink, and be merry. and of course show them the way to the swimming hole later on( Bless the river Gods!). This is my job, but this is also what I do, it's my way of saying thanks to these people for not only working but doing what they do.
People come here seeking a good time with nature, two things I really love, alongside meeting new individuals of all cultures, creeds and societal standing. These are my reasons for becoming a river guide, becuse in doing this I am also having a recreational experience. It's more than I ever expected and I do it all for the people.
