Equal parts outdoor enthusiast and hospitality maven, Lisa brings a lot of fun to the Morrisons crew. She started out as a part-time seasonal employee at the front desk of the lodge over ten years ago and has been an integral part of the team ever since. During the off-season, Lisa spends her time booking rafting, hiking, and fishing trips. During the busy season, she also trains front desk staff and manages the six commercial permits we carry daily. Her quick problem solving and critical thinking skills are an asset and her love of the Rogue River and Taylor Creek wilderness areas are contagious.

Andrew came to us as a part-time seasonal employee in the summer of 2006. A jack of all trades, throughout 8 seasons, he acted as a dishwasher, server, bartender, grounds maintenance, front desk, and head day raft guide. In 2014, he was hired as a full-time sales associate and has since served as operations manager and fishing director. As the current president of Morrisons Rogue Wilderness Adventures, Andrew leads a talented team of passionate outdoor adventurers. Whether introducing guests to their first whitewater experience as a guide or telling stories over dinner at the lodge, he loves sharing the unique atmosphere and rich history of Morrisons with our guests. Andrew is a big fan of Bigfoot and loves the mystery behind the legend, whether the tales are real or not. His greatest pride is to know that Morrisons’ guests have had a memorable vacation.

I started for MRWAL in October of 2021, after receiving my MBA from Eastern Oregon University. I have the good fortune to work with David Blauser, who is a wonderful mentor. I continue to grow and sharpen my skills with his guidance. To find this job in one of the most beautiful settings in Oregon was a dream come true. My commute along the Rogue River is quite a site to see! My greatest pleasure is my family. When I am not crunching numbers, you can find me in the beautiful Rogue Wilderness, outdoors, with a grandchild or two in tow.
