Get to know our guides
Tim Gaylord
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 1978

Tim is Holiday's operations manager. He makes sure our trips run smooth, so your vacation is trouble-free.

Obviously, with 30 years of guiding and running our operations Tim knows what he's doing and does it well.

When he's not training guides, inspecting gear or chopping wood, Tim enjoys Utah's great places on his mountain bike or skis with his wife, Vicky, and young adult children, Travis and Courtney. It's hard to get Tim to sit in any one place for very long, so if you see him say "Hi" before he disappears into the warehouse and beyond!


Frogg Stewart
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 1972

Frogg Stewart Frog Stewart
circa 1977 circa 2004
I was born at the end of the war to end all wars, 1945, in Hermosa Beach, California. I spent my youth surfing, sailing, diving, and just playing around the beaches of California and Mexico. After graduating college with a degree in Zoology, I moved to Utah and found I could make the same money skiing as inspecting crops for insects and poisoning so the choice was basic — I became a professional ski patrolman and began river running in 1973. In 1979 I became a partner in Holiday and moved to Idaho and began running the Salmon river. I continue to manage Holiday's Idaho operation. Winters I am back to my roots surfing and kayaking in Mexico.

Kerry Jones
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 1982

Kerry Jones My first rafting trip was with Holiday in 1979 through Westwater Canyon. In 1982, as soon as I was old enough, I began working for Holiday as a rookie. Along the way, I fell in love with free flowing rivers. Now I manage Holiday's Vernal operations, so I can run the Yampa every spring. I also love to run the Main Salmon whenever I get a chance, but also enjoy getting out and guiding on any of our rafting or mountain biking trips. My wife, Tammy, and I also love being on the river with our kids, Topher and Baily, in our wooden dory the "Yampa."

Lane Hadlock
Driving Holiday's Vernal guests since 1983

Lane Hadlock As a kid I worked cleaning boats back in 1966 for a candy bar and a soda pop. Having grown up in Vernal, UT, I knew many folks in the river business and became aquainted with Dee Holladay in 1983, I have been driving for him ever since. I'm the Father of five and have my own Jewelry business. Driving for Holiday keeps me connected to the outdoors, the river and the guests. I enjoy meeting people from all over the country and even the world.

Mike Wassmuth
Guiding Holiday's Idaho guests since 1983

Mike Wassmuth Mike has been a licensed river guide since 1983. Spending as much time on the rivers as possible is a goal for each summer. Working full time for Agilent Technologies as a Thermographer and Failure Analysis Technician puts some restrictions on his river time, but he still gets out around forty days a year. Making new friends and sharing time on the water is what brings Mike back each year. When not guiding on the rivers, Mike spends much of his time fishing . His favorite trip is an October steelhead-fishing trip down the lower stretch of the Salmon River. In July you can find Mike fishing for small mouth bass on the Grande Ronde River in Washington. Growing up in Grangeville, Idaho exposed Mike to the wonderful outdoors, which he still enjoys very much. Some of Mike other hobbies include black powder hunting, basketball and GeoCaching and spending time with his family.

Kelly Dunham
Working for Holiday since 1984

Kelly Dunham Growing up in Green River was the ideal place to spend time outdoors. I had experienced much of the vast desert country from the ground and air so the water was an obvious choice for me. In 1984 I started guiding for Holiday. My plans were to work for one summer… (So much for that plan) Most recently you will find me at the Green River headquarters where I organize food, guides, and gear for trips. We are one big happy family at Holiday with a very diverse group of guides and guests. That, along with the challenges of organization, are what keep me returning for season after season.

Peter Tilton, aka Tilts
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 1987

Peter Tilton Cataract Canyon is my favorite section of river. I love the power and complexity of the river, the beauty and grandeur of the canyon present a different experience each time through. I also love riding the White Rim and getting the "other perspective" of Canyonlands from high up.

Holiday's "senior" guide my favorite part of the job is still providing and sharing a positive trip experience with new people. I'm originally from New Hampshire, but have been a rolling stone guiding rafting trips in West Virginia, Alaska and Zimbabwe on Holiday's off-season.

In the winters I'm on the road with the US Ski Team coordinating race set-ups...the rest of my free time is spent on my recreational lifestyle — golfing, mountain biking, skiing, traveling and playing with good friends.


Kevin White 'KW'
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 1981

Kevin White I started guiding rivers for Holiday in 1981. Under the careful guidance and teachings from world class guides Dee and Sue Holladay, Mark O'neil, Cliff Johnson, Winston Thomas, Toni Crumbo, Sherpa San Huie, Frogg Stewart, Bret Jameson, John Wood, and Tim Gaylord, I was shaped and molded from a rookie to a company leader. Working for Holiday isn't just about running rivers from point A to B. There is a constant thread of compassion and respect for the river, the canyons, environment, history and humanity that is worked into a well oiled machine of a company that helped me go from an arrogant and cocky California surfer kid to a professional white water guide and Holiday company leader. Holiday River Expeditions is a family run business and when you become an employee for HRE, you become one of the family. My best friends and relations were made during my years working for HRE, and they are relationships I have had the privilege to share with my family as well. It's difficult for me to choose my favorite river or canyon; it's like asking to choose your favorite child, each one is beautiful and unique in their own way, but, I would have to say, that "front oar" on a triple-rig in Cataract Canyon on the Colorado River, in the 50's or 60's is one of the most thrilling experiences I have had...ever! After taking a 22 year hiatus to raise my two beautiful daughters and teach elementary school in Ojai, California, I am excited about working again this summer and many summers in the future. My wife Kathy, and my daughters Tristyne and Tuesde have had many river experiences in my wooden dory, the "Ojai", I built in 2000, and we are always planning and looking forward to our next river trip, "...rivers running through our veins, rivers to us call..." I have been credited for being the first river guide to brave, Big Dog shorts in 82 or 83, thus ending the era of "short shorts" and Speedos; sorry JW, and I've been seen wearing all red, Big Dog shorts and Holiday Red,(my favorite color) T-Shirt, in fancy restaurants, in SLC, in August...visor and all. Come out and run a river with us. We'll all have an experience of a life time. KW P'S...My photo is me on front oar, getting pounded by Pelican in #2 rapid, Cataract Canyon, Colorado River, circa 1984.

Tim Sattelmeir, aka TJ
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 1995

Tim & Kate Sattelmeir My favorite part of each trip is sleeping by the side of the river in the canyons. This is the lure that draws me back to the river every spring. I grew up in a sleepy little resort town in Northern Michigan called Petoskey, went to university in Ann Arbor then wandered around before settling down in Utah. In the winters, I'm a writer and ski instructor at Park City Mountain Resort.

Dave Vernon, aka Vern
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 1996

Dave Vernon Coming from scenic Utah, it was easy to follow my family's love of the wilderness. After spending six summers on the Snake River in Wyoming, I joined the Holiday crew in 1996. Every year I come back for the adventurous rapids, the quiet solitude of a desert sunrise, floating through the majestic cliff walls and the great people. When I am not on the river or trail, I teach at an alternative education school. If you ride on my raft, you might hear a joke or a story or two (maybe even a true one!).

Nate Vinton
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 1997

Nate Vinton When I came to Holiday in 1997, I was the youngest guide. Now I'm old school, like Tilts.

I’m a sports journalist now, but I still get back to Utah for trips when I can. Growing up there I often took the desert for granted, but guiding trips for Holiday has allowed me to see the region from a completely different perspective. It’s an amazing place and I think about it every day, no matter where I am.

My favorite Holiday trip ever was in 1999, rowing Lodore at 10,500 cfs, which was its highest flow since the early 70s. We all had perfect runs. I've never seen anything like it. I’ve also been lucky to guide river trips with my brother, and I especially like it when he is the trip leader and I have to follow his orders.

Zach Crumbo
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 1998

Zach & Kim Crumbo I've been running rivers for as long as I can remember. My father, Kim (pictured on right) was Dee Holladay's first full time guide, and my summers as a kid were often spent going on river trips with him. I grew up living at the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, and spent my first summer at Holiday after my freshman year of college in 1998. Life has led me in different directions since then, and as of 2005 I will have finished my Master's of Fine Arts in photography. But I still can't stay away from the Canyons of the Colorado Plateau: the stories of the river and canyons still fasinate me, and I'm never more at peace than when floating quietly along the river.

Mary Engels
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 1998

Mary Engels Being in and around water has been part of my life as long as I can remember. Growing up in the Pacific Northwest exposed me to water in a myrid of different forms. As I have gotten older, water has been my guide into all sorts of new and amazing adventures. I started rafting in Oregon while working with a children's outdoor program and have been addicted ever since. Coming to Utah, working for Holiday and playing in the canyons, Lodore, Desolation, Westwater, Yampa, is one of the highlights of my life. I just can't get enough. From rafting, to studying coral reefs to sailing the world, water has been the common thread in my life. Through it all, I keep coming back to Utah, to work and to live in the stark beauty of the desert, made more beautiful by the living, changing, challenging waters that cut through my heart. The rivers are my trail by day, my challenge, my guide, my lullabye at night, my home.

Jennifer Davison
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 2000

Jennifer Davison After a trip down the Colorado river in 1998, I quit my high-falutin software job and became a "dirt-bag river guide". Did you know that river guides eat over 1 pound of sand a year? I love the desert rivers of the Southwest because they are the life blood of the entire area, from the expanding metropolises to the colonies of algae on the river banks. They are powerful and extremely vulnerable, and my favorite part of river guiding is witnessing other people coming to these realizations. During the off-season I continue my post-graduate work studying these same relationships between water and arid ecosystems. I also do a fair amount of playing, with my dogs and my awesome co-trip-leader Zach. But when asked to "go to my happy place", I usually end up somewhere between Pot Creek and Wild Mountain, watching big horn sheep in the glow of sunset and listening to canyon wrens seranading the rapids.

Katie Warren, aka Newman
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 2000

Katie Warren I grew up rafting the San Juan with my family. They say I was always sitting on the back of the boat reading a book. I must've outgrown that because I LOVE being a river guide now. In fact, I finished my history degree at Colorado State University in three years so I could get out on the river. I started out as a "warehouse kid" at Holiday and began guiding as soon as I was old enough. Every river I'm on presents new challenges and experiences and I love each one. I particularly love going on our women's trips. In the winter I work up at Alta Ski Area and make a mean enchilada dish.

Jessica Durham
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 2000

Jessica Durham I grew up in the great state of Idaho where we are not known for our famous potatoes but for our Famous Whitewater, so when my friends heard I was going to boat in Utah they thought I was crazy, after my first San Juan trip I thought they were crazy. Having a little bit of experience and the desire to sleep under the stars as much as possible, Holiday River has helped me become the person I am today. Boating as much as possible (commercially and privately), starting my own urban gardening business (with a boating friend) and trying to make a difference in this world one cause at a time. I am here to congratulate you on discovering the desert, it will change your life forever. Hope to see you on the water!

Rick Coriell
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 2001

Rick Coriell I am Rick Coriell, and I was looking for employment during my freshman year of college and thought well I could get a job doing what I love. So I applied to Holiday and some how convinced Tim Gaylord that I was worthy of Holiday. I had grown up rafting all over the west with my family. To this day I still have no idea why Tim hired me, except maybe .... DESPERATION. Anyway I have fallen in love with the western rivers. They have the power to constantly make me think of them all off season, in Ft. Collins where I am currently working with Autistic kids. I hope to see you on the river, and may you always find yourself in the flow.

Andrew Vinton, aka Peewee
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 2001

PeeWee PoohPooh In the August following my high school graduation I was working as a pizza delivery boy in Salt Lake City. My brother, himself a fellow guide, called me one day after work and told me that Holiday had an opening in the warehouse--I think he said it involved "sweeping floors." The next day I quit my job delivering pizza and headed for Green River. I've been coming back ever since--but thankfully I'm not sweeping floors anymore. I grew up in Utah, so this area has been familiar to me since I was young; but it wasn't until I saw it from a raft that I really appreciated it.

Shannon Callahan, aka Schoon
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 2001

Shannon Callahan Half way through my freshman year of college I made the decision that I wanted to do something different for the summers. I had only been on one river trip prior to my decision to become a river guide, unfortunately I wasn't old enough and took a job in the warehouse sweeping and cleaning dry bags. Four summers later I find myself ditching out of internships to some back to Utah to run rivers. Who needs a "real" job anyway?

Ben Levine, aka "LB"
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 2003

Ben Levine aka Hailing from the wild west, I grew up in Wyoming and have always had a passion for the outdoors. In 2003 during my junior summer of high school I began my Holiday legacy and spent a spectacular summer in the warehouse where I became know as LB "Little Ben". Now several years later I am know as BB "Big Ben" and have moved from my native Wyoming to the city with the warmest winter weather in Utah, St. George. While residing in St. George I attend Dixie State College but am also able to mountain bike, explore Zion National Park and wakeboard for the majority of the year. Every summer though I return to my second home, Holiday, were I am able to work with the finest most exciting group of individuals that I have ever had the privilege of meeting. I especially enjoy going on trips with my big brother "Redneck" Jason. Who as his picture very accurately portrays is the best looking and most serious trip leader in the history of river rafting, it must run in the family. My favorite river trip is the Yampa River, which is referred to as the last wild river because it is the last undammed river on the Colorado Plateau. The scenery that it provides is absolutely breathtaking, every camp sight is perfect for camping and a great game of river horseshoes, the hiking is amazing and the rapids are as the nickname suggests, wild. I have found my one true love in the canyons and rivers of the west and feel honored to share their exotic beauty with everyone who I have the privilege of journeying through them with.

Andrew Johnsen, aka Drew
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 2003

Drew Johnsen When Tim first tracked me down and begged me to be a river guide, I was a bit unsure. Being from New Jersey, the canyons and the rivers of Utah were foriegn to me, but after I did my first private trip down Westwater Canyon, I decided that Green River was going to be my new home. I love every aspect of the river and river trips. I can't imagine working with a better group of people. The knowledge, experience and passion of and for the river is unparralelled.

Henry Joseph Prendergast, aka Hank
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 2003

Hank Prendergast My first river trip was on the Payette river in Idaho were I grew up. Since then I have wanted to live as much of my life as possible in the outdoors. I love the river and everything it means to be a guide, running the rapids, incredible hikes, heavy metal, "back pancakes". The Gates of Lodore is probably my favorite stretch, it is one of the more beautiful places I have ever seen, Chicago is my new home but I can't wait to get back to the river.

Amy Christeson, aka Amy
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 2004

Amy Christeson A typical day in the office. I roll out of bed in the morning, throw on my professional business attire--tutu and leopard print polyester pants, of course--and start making blueberry muffins for breakfast. Eat, push off the beach, and begin punching through splashy rapids. Don't miss the board meeting at 10...we pull over to scout Hells Half Mile, and the guides and I have a quick conference. Then, back in the boats and we're shooting through the upper slot, then down past Lucifer rock. The shrills of anticipation, anxiety, then happiness and victory can be heard throughout the canyon. The trip leader shouts back, good run, that'll earn you positive marks on the company report. But the work day isn't over. We keep pushing along. During lunch hour we hike up to a waterfall, later celebrate the day with a dinnertime Fiesta, have a competitive round of horseshoes. The darkness sets in and I eat one more s'more, unroll my sleeping bag and clock out for the day. This is the best job in the world.

Jason Quinn, aka Jason
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 2004

Jasonredneck My name is Jason and I'm a third year Rookie here at Holiday. I come from a long history of Appalachan Americans, (Rednecks) that looks to each day with a smile wondering which way to go, lucky for me the boat seems to always know where to go. In the winter, I am presently accepting invitations to anywhere in the world. I have worked on the rivers of New Zealand, Chile, and West Virginia, but my resume is not limited to the river. I am an expert synchronized co-ed underwater basket weaver, professional certified duct tape technician, competitive napper, and a nuclear engineer. My leisure activities include entertaining telemarketers, hanging with Cashmire, playing pranks on my boss Tim (year round activity really), playing matchmaker, and the list goes on. If you like good stories, good food, good laughs, I am your man, but more importantly, if you want a good lookin river guide..look no further then Brin (his photo is on this page). There is no better way to see the Canyons then from the river, hope to see you out there.

Maya Nash
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 2005

Maya Nash I live in Chicago. I got a job at Holiday after meeting another guide who lives here. My only previous experience was a one-day trip down the San Juan River with my grandma when I was seventeen. I think I wore jean shorts. I like working here because it is very pretty and does not involve traffic or being cold. I really like the wildlife and seeing all the stars at night. I dislike dams and big oil companies and I have a very healthy respect for bears. In the winter, I make art, wait tables, and hang out with the other river guide who lives in Chicago.

Brin Finnigan, aka Brian
Guiding Holiday's expeditions since 2005

Brin Finnigan Born and raised in Vermont, I spent a good deal of my young life staring at maps. I was particularly drawn to the vast blank areas of the American West. In one of these wide-open spaces two great blue streaks converge in the heart of the Colorado Plateau's canyonlands region. Guiding for Holiday Expeditions since 2005 I've found that the maps and dreams of my childhood are grossly inaccurate. The Colorado and Green Rivers are anything but blue and the land anything but blank. I've discovered that by sharing knowledge with my guests and simply bringing them to these spectacular canyons they gain an ownership of the place and the desire to protect it. Along with my life on the river I have also earned a B.A. in Environmental Studies from Gettysburg College and a BCU 3-Star kayak certification and become a Seminar Coordinator for the Headwaters Institute. Prior to Holiday I worked for my campus outdoor education program, guided sea kayaking trips up and down the East Coast and in the Great Lakes, and washed dishes professionally.

Matt Chick
Guiding Holiday's Expeditions since 2005

Matt Chick I grew up in Salt Lake City and did some trips with Holiday with my parents when I was younger. I thought working at Holiday would be fun, so I applied to Holiday and started by working in the warehouse. While there I was pretending to fix stuff, but I was probably breaking more than I was fixing. Ever since then I have been a guide for the last few summers in between attending the University of Kentucky. I think Holiday is a good fit for me since in my personal ads I have always put liking long walks on a beach and cleaning banos. The nights and the mornings on the river are spectacular, even when someone forgets to get the fish smell off of the griddle and we have fish flavored french toast...mmmm...fish toast. I guess the rapids are nice too.

Zack Rogala
Guiding Holiday's Idaho guests since 2005

Zack Rogala I figure rowing a boat beats banging nails on any day of the week, so the summer months find me in a relaxingly repetitious right/left, right/left, cook, clean, sleep, wake up all over again kind of routine on the beautiful rivers of central Idaho. Come fall I flounder in the realm otherwise known as academia at Montana State in Bozeman, Montana, and wonder on what ski hill will I be teaching people how to fall 'professionally' down this winter. As far as the rivers go, this spud state is 'the last best place' and its rivers...'the undiscovered'...so until that changes I can't think of a better place to dance along the thin line of the transient/traveler life style...Darby Loggers' Day excluded of course.

Zach Colman
Guiding Holiday's guests since 2007

Zach Colman Coming from a family of boatmen, I knew I had my work cut out for me to differentiate myself from the rest of my family. I grew up outside of Denver in a whirlwind of outdoor activity mixed with city life, struggling to fit in. Constantly criticized by my peers I became very quickly the person I had to be to make everyone around me feel comfortable. With the mastery of that skill I combine my passion for sustainability and the environment to further Holiday Expeditions as a company. I have, through my years at Holiday, brought back style to the canyons, focusing on innovative methods for expressing myself while on the river. If it be a pop-culture anecdote, friendly banter with guests and boatmen, or simply cynicism that comes out of my mouth it is easy to tell that I am a fun loving person that doesn't take himself too seriously. My laid back style of guiding quickly makes guests comfortable and any anxiety or nervousness vanishes when I take reign of the oars. Let's be frank, we're on vacation!!

Molly Kissner
Guiding Holiday's guests since 2008

Molly Kissner While working at a seasonal job in Antarctica, I met a Holiday employee who was convinced I was born to be a river guide. As a tried and true Minnesotan (land of 10,000 lakes), I wasn’t convinced, but I had read my Edward Abbey, and was definitely fascinated by the area. A couple months passed, I was living in a tree house in Oahu, and one morning I woke up knowing I had to go after it. I called Tim, begged him to give me a chance, booked a flight, and was in Green River in no time. I am now working my second season. I absolutely love this humbling, challenging and thrilling job. My dream is to continue traveling the world but ultimately I see myself settling down to the simple life close to family, near Lake Superior, but always returning west to spend time on the river.

Joe Ballent
Guiding Holiday's Expeditions since 2008

Joe Ballent It all started with a high school rafting trip with Grand Canyon Youth and he was hooked. Joe Ballent was, is, and always will be a member of the epic Holiday Expeditions Warehouse Crew '08, undoubtedly the single most hard-working, cohesive, ruthlessly efficient, and good-looking group of individuals to grace Green River. He is currently a student at Bradley University in Illinois where he majors in Entrepreneurship, and was an NCAA Division I scholarship Cheerleader his freshman and sophomore years, lifting 18-year old girls over his head in such exotic destinations as St. Louis, Missouri and Baltimore, Maryland. Retiring at his peak due to time commitments, he now pursues such activities as rock climbing club and being an R.A. in the dorms. In the summers he manages to escape to scenic Utah to pursue his true passions, including rafting, rock climbing, 90's grunge/rock music, freelining, haphazard ziplines, quesadillas, going to Ed McStiff's, the Firefly series, and trying to be like Tim. A veteran of both Grand Canyon Youth and Outward Bound rafting/service excursions, Joe also recently appeared on a centerfold in Chaco's 2008 catalogue. Previous work experiences include working at a candy store, coaching lacrosse, and ski instruction. A big thanks goes out to Emma for hooking him up with this sweet job!

Noel Gugliotta
Guiding Holiday's Expeditions since 2008

Noel Gugliotta Noel Gugliotta was, is, and always will be a member of the epic Holiday Expeditions Warehouse Crew '08, undoubtedly the single most hard-working, cohesive, ruthlessly efficient, and good-looking group of individuals to grace Green River. It should be noted that I provided all of the good looks... :) I can already tell that my favorite part of the year is going to be when this stellar crew COMES ON HOME TO GREEN RIVER! First of all, I want to be Seldom Seen Smith and hunt me some grizz. Oh yeah, I love mimicking Tim, and I win all water fights. Coming to Holiday showed me that there's a simpler, more appreciative life out there for me to live. A life full of early mornings making breakfast with friends, sunny days on the river, and long nights with jokes and stories to tell. To me there's no better feeling than waking up under the Utah sun with the wild wind blowing through the canyon brushing by my face on one of the most gorgeous landscapes in the world. Anyway, Holiday helped lead me to my major of Environmental Policy at Colorado College which I hope I can someday use to help preserve these lands I've come to love so much.

Kyle Martin
Guiding Holiday's Expeditions since 2008

Kyle Martin Kyle Martin was, is, and always will be a member of the epic Holiday Expeditions Warehouse Crew '08, undoubtedly the single most hard-working, cohesive, ruthlessly efficient, and good-looking group of individuals to grace Green River. I was sadly separated from the Green River Warehouse Crew with work assignments at the Vernal base of Holiday Expeditions, and reminisces of Green River Adventures with WHC08 as often as possible. Currently studying Business at the University of Utah, I plan to graduate in the Spring of 2010. Filling my summers with free-spirited rafting, I constantly find myself amazed by the beauty and power of the river. I have learned many lessons from the river in only 2 short summers, including patience, respect, hard work, persistence, and where to find the elbow grease. When I am not on the river, I fill my time with activities such as mountain biking, riding freeline skates, rock climbing, and finding ways to clear my mind. I look forward to continuing my rafting experiences while traveling to foreign countries.

Jacob Wahler
Guiding Holiday's Expeditions since 2008

Jacob Wahler Growing up at the South Rim of Grand Canyon National Park gave me a great appreciation for the amazing outdoor wonders that the Southwest has to offer. I grew up backpacking in the Grand Canyon and was a guide for backpacking for almost two years there. After meeting a Holiday guide during one of my lame off season jobs, I decided it was time for a change of scenery. I immediately fell in love with running the rivers and the river life style. Getting to raft every week and live with people who love the outdoors just as much as I do is a life style I am quickly getting used to.
