About David
David moved to Asheville from La Jolla, California in 2017. Back in La Jolla he owned Hike Bike Kayak Sports, a leader in the outdoor adventure tour industry. He moved to Asheville to purchase Cumberland Falls Bed & Breakfast Inn with his wife. It wasn’t long before David’s passion for the natural world and all the flora and fauna of Western North Carolina got the best of him and we decided to do it all again with Hike Bike Kayak Asheville. David, always inquisitive and wanting to pass along interesting and accurate information, enrolled in the Naturalist program at The North Carolina Arboritum. Now, 350 hours of classes and miles of hiking later, he is a certified Blue Ridge Parkway and WNC Naturalist. David has been a tour guide for over 15 years and loving every minute. You won’t know what you have been missing until you hike with David and then you will be amazed. His passion is contagious, his knowledge is abundant and his kindness is key. The trail head may be easy to find, but the Jack in the Pulpit is not.

“My friend and I went on a winter hike with Dave during a girls trip to Asheville. It surpassed our expectations. He was thoughtful about the location and knowledgeable about the area. Having a professional guide made hiking much more enjoyable and worthwhile. I highly recommend Hike, Bike, Kayak Asheville to anyone looking for a fun and informative experience.”
