Originally from Connecticut, Arthur spent his childhood summers in the mountains of New Hampshire and boating along Maine’s rugged coast. He often accompanied his father on week-long sections of the Appalachian Trail, teaching him the importance of spending time in the wilderness. Arthur became hooked on international travel after he lived with a local family in Costa Rica while immersed in a three-month Spanish language program.

Arthur obtained his bachelor’s degree in political science with a minor in environmental studies from Eckerd College, where he established his love for kayaking and birding in the Florida Everglades. After college, Arthur worked in the publishing industry in New York City for three years, before a trip to Patagonia in 2013 led him to pursue to his true passion: becoming a naturalist guide. He began leading kayaking, hiking and biking trips in Acadia National Park before heading north to Alaska, where he worked as a sea kayaking guide in Kenai Fjords National Park for five years (and achieved his life goal of kayaking with killer whales!) During the summers of 2021 and 2022, he worked at remote wilderness lodges, familiarizing himself with bear ecology and ethical viewing practices. In 2022, Arthur joined the Nat Hab team as an Expedition Leader in Alaska and U.S. national parks. 

Arthur loves guiding for Nat Hab and has the pleasure of leading adventures in some of the most beautiful destinations on the planet. He enjoys sharing the sense of wonder he has found while exploring these amazing wild places. Arthur is a passionate landscape and wildlife photographer who hopes to inspire people to protect species and travel to new places. While he and his wife are often on the move, they call Florida home.
