About us
I’ve spent 20+ years specializing in the law affecting companies and programs in the outdoor recreation industry. My clients range from universities to Everest guides to equipment manufactures. I’ve defended raft companies, mountaineering guide services, canoe liveries, climbing, ropes courses and others in court. I’ve published in the Wilderness Medical Society Journal, Paddle Dealer, Inside/Outside, Scouter, GearTrends & Recreation Management. I was a contributor to the Risk Management Chapter of the BSA Field Book and have written chapters in Legal Liability and Risk Management in Adventure Tourism and Controversial Issues in Adventure Programming. I teach Ski Area Risk Management for Colorado Mountain College. I’ve taught seminars at Cornell, Oregon State University, University of Idaho, University of Utah and other colleges. I am the US representative to the Safety Committee of the Union Internationale des Association d’Alpinisme (UIAA) and a member American Society of Testing & Materials (ASTM). I currently serve on the board of directors of the Galapagos Conservation Association and the Denver Area Council, Boy Scouts of America. I have severed on the board of directors of the Trade Association of Paddlesports and the Colorado Alliance for Environmental Education. When I'm not practicing law or writing, I still work as a river guide for commercial whitewater rafting companies. I know this area of the law and enjoy working with my clients to protect them from the issues they may encounter.

Charging for search and rescue (SAR) costs is a complex issue that warrants careful consideration. While it may seem reasonable to shift some financial burden to those who require SAR services, implementing a flat fee of $1000 per hour, as proposed in Kauai County, HI, may create unintended consequences. One concern is the potential increase in risk, as individuals might delay or avoid seeking assistance due to financial constraints. This could lead to more severe injuries or fatalities. Additionally, determining the appropriate party to charge can be challenging, as accidents can occur in various contexts and involve different levels of personal responsibility. Instead of imposing an arbitrary charge, it may be more prudent to explore alternative solutions, such as public education campaigns, voluntary donations, or insurance options, to fund SAR operations and ensure the safety of all visitors and residents. https://lnkd.in/gYK9cudh @RecreationLaw #SAR #Search_Rescue #BoycottNH #NoChargeforRescue #NoChargeforSAR #RecLaw #RecreationLaw
