berg danielson, owner and guide
Berg is native to Bainbridge Island, a small island across from Seattle in Washington's Puget Sound. He grew up on and around boats, learning to sail at an early age. After surviving high school where he amused himself playing water polo and swimming, he moved on to Hampshire College in Amherst where he took a degree in Literary Non-Fiction Writing. Perhaps to acquire life experiences as a foundation for the content of his writing or driven by his enduring love for the coastal terrain of British Columbia, he interrupted his college work to build a 19’ dory and then rowed it from Seattle to Alaska during the summer of 1997.

Berg has lived in Sweden, biked from Los Angeles to Albuquerque at age 9, climbed extensively in the North Cascades, crewed on a 40’ sailboat from Florida through the Panama Canal to Costa Rica, and climbed Mexico’s 18,500 foot Pico de Orizaba.

His career in experiential education started as a wilderness instructor for VisionQuest, an adjudicated youth wilderness therapy program in southeastern Arizona where he worked for two years. At the beginning of 2001, he joined the National Outdoor Leadership School where he has been leading 25 day coastal sailing expeditions in Baja, Mexico, keelboat sailing trips in Desolation Sound and backpacking trips in Wyoming. He is wilderness first responder certified.
