Your Guide

Hi, I’m Alex.

I’m the passionate soul behind Connection Craft. Growing up surrounded by forests and spending summers by the ocean, I developed a profound connection to the earth that shaped my worldview. My journey into foraging began as a personal exploration of sustainable living and a desire to share the magic of the natural world with others. With a background in culinary arts, free diving, and nature-based education and mentorship, I bring a unique blend of knowledge and passion to every mussel foraging tour. 

As a deep student of the harmony and balance of the natural world, I help guide participants toward an interconnected and sustainable relationship with the coastal California ecosystem. As an experienced wilderness guide and certified wilderness first responder, I bring a necessary eye towards safety and care for folks with less intertidal experience than myself. 

I offer an earth-centered and grounded tone to the corporate world. While foraging may be a novel concept, I can ensure that every participant feels comfortable, confident, and connected to the natural world. Join me in weaving threads of team building, education, and appreciation for nature into an unforgettable tapestry of experience.
