Toby Blauwasser
Abby is just awesome. We met on our first Grand Canyon trip......in 1997. We have been friends since then. She is incredibly focused, motivated, reliable, completely trustworthy and just a great person. From coaching to teaching to building cedar strip canoes, she can do ANYTHING. And she does it well. Hey, after you captain a paddle raft with 8 people in it down the Grand, you can do anything.

Abby Burbank brings together a happy magic of impeccable personal ethics, tremendous personal commitment to her duties, and a genuine and unbounded passion for athletics, coaching, physical fitness, and the outdoors. Abby takes great care to ensure she is knowledgeable on any major trends or developments shaping her fields. She also fosters tremendous positive spirit and draws out the best in effort on any team that is fortunate enough to have her. And her sense of humor is irrepressible! I recommend Abby enthusiastically and without cavil.
