Professional guide at Triad River Tours Joshua Larsen

Joshua Larsen learned to kayak in the famous rivers of West Virginia, and since then has paddled all over the world, as well as North America.  He is a graduate of the World Class Kayak Academy.   

He holds a bacherlors degree in Environmental Science, where his passion for rivers is enforced through his pursuit for a career that involves raising awareness about sustainability and preserving our natural treasures.  He also holds a masters degree in business, in hopes to use his passion for the outdoors to create opportunities for others to find freedom in wild places.

As a close student of the river, he hopes to share the intimate relationship he has grown to have with it by helping others in the community re-establish their own connection with the beautiful rivers of the Cascades. 

Joshua has a dog named Psy.
