Stevie has been working in adventure education for 20 years. A good portion of that time he has spent in a wetsuit either in the sea, loch or canyon. Stevie says: “My mother said I could climb out of my cot before I could walk! I love working outside in the mountains or on the water. Every day is different and the environments I work in are dynamic and diverse. The people I meet and the things I see always amaze and inspire me to do more outdoors. I just love it.”
