Our Story

Professional Training and Consulting for Professional Adventurers
the story behind the name
When Gabe was in his early twenties, he migrated between seasonal jobs in New England and the Pacific Northwest. As a professional ski patroller and whitewater kayak instructor and guide, along with regular work leading extended hiking and canoeing trips in Northern Appalachia with financially disadvantaged teens from Maine, Gabe met amazing folks from all walks of life. Larry in particular stood out amongst characters. In a good way. Larry was a giver, and boy howdy! did he give. Larry‘s passions were many and he wasn’t just a Jack of all trades, he was a master at most trades. Larry is sorely missed. He died in a single vehicle accident late one evening on his way back from a great day of paddling on the Dead River in Maine. Larry was always keeping it fresh and loved water, hence Freshwater!
