Meet AJ! Ouzel's Training Manager and Senior Guide extraordinaire AJ was born and raised in Bend, Oregon, and still proudly calls it home. He graduated from the University of Oregon with a degree in Business Administration. An avid outdoorsman and food lover, he enjoys exploring Central Oregon’s backroads and soaking in the small-town charm of the area. Growing up in a family of boaters, AJ caught the rafting bug at a young age and never looked back. He thrives in the guide lifestyle, especially embracing the unique logistics that come with the job. When winter rolls around, you’ll find him either driving the Zamboni at the local ice rink or carving down the slopes—sometimes even in a yeti costume!

We can't talk about Ouzel Guides without talking about Tim. Tim is a native Oregonian and has earned the nick name "Captain Oregon" during his 25+ years at Ouzel. Tim graduated from the U of O and enjoys being outside (preferably without shoes on) as much as possible. An absolute wealth of knowledge about the natural world around him, Tim is an invaluable member of any crew he is on or leading.
