Daren, an ACA Level 3 certified sea kayak instructor with endorsements in Adaptive Paddling and Rolling, has dedicated himself to sharing his expertise since 2012. Engaged at the YMCA, he imparts knowledge through kayak essentials and rescue and rolls classes, while also instructing at the Door County Sea Kayak Symposium and leading Kickstart Kayaking classes for beginners. This passion fueled the creation of his own venture, Silent Wake, a business devoted to kayak education. With a 21-year tenure in the US Army and a medical background since 1985, Daren, currently holding a nursing license, brings a rich tapestry of experience to his endeavors. In the embrace of the open water and playful waves of the Great Lakes, he finds solace in serene river paddles, unique rescues, and the exploration of new Eskimo rolls with his Greenland paddle. Actively seeking improvement, Daren absorbs techniques, tricks, and tips from mentors at various Paddling Symposiums and destinations, not only enhancing his professional skills but also elevating his instructional abilities for others. |

Kristin Vogel
Kristin started kayaking regularly in 2013 and immediately sought out kayak education, including classes, and pointers from those with more experience. Eager to get to be outdoors and on the water, she is inspired by all the various kinds of water available in Wisconsin and always enjoys exploring creeks & rivers, inland lakes as well as Lakes Michigan and Superior. Kristin came to kayaking after having done recreational, competitive rowing and through that, she brings to her kayak coaching a passion for helping people understand how to get the most glide from their kayak with the most efficient effort whether on casual outings or taking on wind and waves on Lake Michigan. She draws on her years working as an educator and executive coach to facilitate your success.
