Andrew Laughlin has owned Tahoe City Kayak since 2005, and has personally guided tens of thousands of customers on Lake Tahoe, Lake Placid and Lake Champlain throughout his kayaking career. He has completed ACA (American Canoe and Kayak Assoc) Level 2 guide certification, PSIA Level 2 ski instructing certification, National Ski Patrol's Outdoor Emergency Care first aid certification, a Bachelor's Degree in Social Psychology and Adventure Education from the University of Otago in New Zealand, and an MBA and a Masters in Organizational Psychology from Boston College.

When he's not kayaking, he spends his time teaching his young son about the outdoors, playing saxophone in local bands, and riding his mountain bike or backcountry skiing with his two dogs.
