After owning and operating Backcountry Outfitters, a backpacking specialty store for 23 years he now is semi retired. John enjoys traveling and volunteering for different National Parks throughout the United States. He has been teaching canoeing and kayaking for over 30 years. This will be his 6th season leading trips and guiding in the Everglades. He is looking forward to spending more time exploring the biological diverse ecology of the Everglades and sharing it with the Ivey House guests.
Dave Kochendorfer, Naturalist Guide. After an eleven year engineering career, Dave left the office world behind to pursue his real passion for the outdoors. He has been professionally guiding since 1996. He moved to Florida in 1998 and now migrates between winters in the Everglades and summers in Alaska. He met the Harraden's in 2004 while working for another outfitter, fell in love with them and their small family business, and came to work for them soon after. He has successfully guided Ivey House guests of all ability levels on canoe and kayak tours from three hours to eight days. At every opportunity, he continues to explore the intricacies of the largest wilderness area in the Eastern US. He would love to show it to you.

He splits his time between kayaking the Everglades and raft guiding on The Arkansas River in Colorado, and uses the time in between seasons to travel and explore. Loves the life he lives
