Russ Thorpe
I've been wandering the waters of this country my whole life. Working on the water is all I think about.
Commercially, I'm new to the business, but that lifetime on the water speaks for itself.
I'm all about the Voyageurs history and the animals and geology of the park. If you want someone who genuinely knows and cares about this place, I'd love to take you out.
