Lynsay Bush - Operations Lead and Support Guide Lynsay began work with Frog Hollow at the beginning of our 2010 season. If you call the office during the week you most likely will hear the melodious ring, and kind manner of Lynsay’s voice. When she’s not paddling you can find her dancing, taking a walk with her dog Tay, or sleeping. Her favorite Frog Hollow trip is on the Black River in southeastern NC. Her favorite food is chocolate or watermelon, color is blue, and book is Harry Potter. Sadly (for us at Frog Hollow), Lynsay has taken on a position at Earthdance an amazing dance retreat center in Massachusetts. We wish her all the best on her endeavors as she follows her dreams. We hope she’ll be back here with us in the future!

Michael Halligan - Lead Guide Having started work with us in 2000, Mike is one of Frog Hollow’s (FH) first employees. As an expert canoeist, trained EMT, and mastermind of River Bottle Blues, Mike’s passion for the outdoors, the environment, and group safety shine through on trips he leads. Mike’s favorite FH trip is the monthly Paddle Under the Stars and his favorite paddling location in NC is the lower Roanoke River Basin. When Mike’s not paddling a canoe he’s working on his River Bottle Blues projects and spending time in his garden. He also plans to spend time in 2011 improving his kayaking skills.
Stephen Mullaney - Lead Guide, Lead Instructor, and Programs Coordinator (and overflowing fountain of ideas) Bio coming soon.
Keith Radke - Lead Guide and Lead Instructor I grew up in Illinois and got my start paddling the Rock River, which was right across from my parents' house. Around that time I also began taking a trusty red Old Town canoe out on a few lakes in both Illinois and Wisconsin. As an only child, I soon realized that kayaking is a much more efficient means of paddling if you are by yourself, so I saved up until I was able to acquire a Perception Corona sea kayak in high school. By and by, on a lark, a friend and I decided to take a road trip down to the Tellico River in TN our senior year of high school to try whitewater kayaking. This trip is where I began my love affair with my favorite form of paddling. This road trip became an annual tradition and carried into college, where I also worked as a whitewater rafting guide and sea kayaking instructor various summers in West Virginia and Boston, both honing my own skills and knowledge while helping to facilitate good times for others on the water.
