Tacoma Joe (Joe)

This is Tacoma Joes 15th year with River Recreation. TJ currently holds the position of River Manager of the Wenatchee river base camp. TJ got his first rubber raft when he was just 8 years old and was guiding rivers privately by the time he was 15! He lives to be on the river; just give him sunshine and big waves and he is happy as a clam. Off the river, TJ's passion is country dancing. (Which he is very good at)
