“Kevin is the most knowledgeable person I’ve met on the bounties that the land and sea can offer. When I went spearfishing with him, he pointed out the biggest cabezon I’ve ever seen. And they are nearly impossible to see if you don’t know what you are looking for. Getting to spear that fish was one of the most exciting experiences I’ve ever had. The fish fried up beautifully too! So tasty!”
“This man has the innate ability to be at home in the wilderness, with an incredible knowledge that has been honed with experience in hunting techniques of the past and present. He is the only (other) person that I know who can make a usable stone tool while blindfolded!”

“Kevin is an excellent teacher! So knowledgeable and is able to provide historical context, which really allows for a continuum of understanding to exist while engaging with these ancient life ways such as friction fire.”
Embarking on a foraging journey with Dr.Kevin was nothing short of transformative. His expertise, coupled with an infectious passion for nature and teaching, made each tour an unforgettable adventure. Kevin's deep knowledge of the environment and sustainable foraging practices opened our eyes to the bounty of the land and sea in ways we never imagined. Whether it was building shelters among ancient trees, unearthing clams, or navigating the delicate ecosystems of intertidal zones, Kevin guided us with patience, humor, and an unwavering commitment to conservation. Each experience was tailored with care, ensuring we not only learned the art of foraging but also the importance of respecting and preserving nature. He's such a caring person and is always nice enough to help answer any questions at any time! Not to mention he makes the best food, from fresh caught crab pasta to mussel soup on the rocks, his fresh ocean to table food beats any restaurant with unforgettable freshness and nature vibes!!! For anyone looking to deepen their connection with the natural world and embark on a truly enlightening adventure, Kevin's forays are an absolute must! You will become such a better forager and gain a deeper appreciation for foraging!
Dr. Kevin took us out to do some coastal foraging up in the Bay and I can honestly say it was the most fun I’ve had in a long time. I learned so much about the environment we were in and the mussels we ate at the end were delicious! I highly recommend booking a class with Kevin, you will not be disappointed.
Last year, I had an amazing foraging experience with Kevin. I arranged a guided foraging exploration as a surprise birthday present for one of my friends, and Kevin exceeded all expectations. Not only was he incredibly knowledgeable, but he was also friendly and infused the outing with a sense of fun. Safety was an important aspect for us as we were a group of solo-traveling girls and Kevin's attention to ensuring our comfort was greatly appreciated. I would definitely recommend Kevin's tours! He was also kind enough to recommend other things to do in the area. We gained a wealth of fascinating survival skills, some of which were surprisingly straightforward yet ingenious. I can't thank Kevin enough! :)
Loved the class and made some good friends along the way , I know mushrooms but kevin never fails to teach me something new
