ABOUT ME
Ashton is an American outdoorsman and amateur artist who lives a dual life working on the river and at a charitable foundation. Born in Oakland and raised in the Pacific Northwest, Ashton has always felt a connection with rivers, chasing whitewater across California, New Mexico, Washington, Oregon, and Alaska. Now with several seasons under his belt with Wet Planet, he continues to share this excitement while guiding on the White Salmon, Klickitat, Owyhee and Main Salmon Rivers.
Besides being on the river, Ashton enjoys seeking out natural hot springs, painting, backpacking, and playing guitar in Tacoma-based band The Mayonnaise. In other phases of life, Ashton has been a fine dining cook, an Alaskan tour guide, and a grant writer for local nonprofits.
