As an avid sea kayaker, mountaineer and wilderness guide, Anthony is intimately familiar with the life-changing potential of spending time in wilderness. Growing up near Vancouver, the mountains and waters of British Columbia’s south coast have long been his home base. He loves self-propelled, expedition-style travel and the intimate wildlife encounters afforded by this approach.

Anthony studied glaciology at the University of Stockholm and geology and environmental studies at Dalhousie University in Halifax, Nova Scotia. This educational foundation has been enriched by Anthony's proclivity to seek local knowledge, spend time in nature and read extensively; you can always count on him for a good book recommendation! Anthony began his guiding career as a sea kayak guide and marine naturalist in the Discovery Islands on the west coast of BC, bridging his passion for adventure with his aspirations for a career that would immerse him in outdoors. Inspired by the region’s rich biodiversity, he delved into local ecology and natural history, a practice he has maintained while guiding in New Zealand and teaching skiing in BC’s Kootenays region, as well as in his own outdoor endeavors. Anthony is enthusiastic about facilitating exceptional experiential learning opportunities for travelers as a Nat Hab Expedition Leader in Quebec and Churchill, Manitoba.

In between guiding trips, Anthony can be found on his own adventures climbing, hiking and skiing in the mountains, and paddling remote coastlines. In 2022, he and his partner began a multi-year attempt to kayak the fabled Northwest Passage. Anthony is always in search of the world’s best hot chocolate and he loves baking chocolate chip cookies.

Praise from Nat Hab Travelers: 

M. Diprima
"Anthony was amazing in everything we did. He was informative, enthusiastic, kind and patient. He kept us going at a good pace so that we could see as much as possible."

A. Breaux
"Anthony went far beyond our expectations! He was all about making sure everyone was enjoying every minute of the trip. He was perfect for our group."

D. Cooke
"Anthony is simply a joy to interact with. He has a depth of knowledge about the community and is deeply committed to extending his vast understanding by being a voracious reader, particularly focused on all things Churchill. His humility and innate inclination to serve others is what truly sets him apart. We are huge Anthony fans, and we know that those who are privileged to have him as their Expedition Leader on future Northern Lights expeditions will be as appreciative of his leadership as we were."

C. Smith
"I love Anthony! I really appreciated the infectious enthusiasm Anthony has—it was more like chatting with a friend than an Expedition Leader. He also took really great photos and had the good idea to film the Polar Rover ride through the windshield in time laps,e which is awesome to have in our Adventure Portal. It was pretty emotional when I saw my first polar bear, and I'm glad to have had my dad on one side and Anthony on the other to share the moment."

M. Cover
"Anthony was wonderful. We were some of the older travelers in the group, and Anthony was always at the bottom of the bus steps to make sure my husband had no trouble getting off of the bus. He was also flexible and adjusted to all circumstances."

K. Menn
"Anthony was an amazing Expedition Leader. He is such a hardworking, knowledgeable, warm and kind man. He went above and beyond every day to make our trip the best it could be. This trip exceeded our expectations on all levels. Anthony is an asset to Nat Hab!"
