Pat & Denise Lemmon

Pat and Denise both grew up in the Puget Sound area of Washington State. Pat's career path led him into science, particularly geology, and he ended up sharing his knowledge as a high school teacher for 32 years. Denise followed her passion in the arts and developed her craft as a sculptor, sharing her creations with an appreciative clientele through her own small business. Before their destinies were joined, Pat lived several years in Puerto Rico, Spain, Wales, and other areas of Europe where his father was employed as a teacher with the Department of Defense. Later, Pat and Denise returned to Europe with their young family where Pat taught school for a couple years near Naples, Italy (can you say "gelato”?!).

Their overseas exposure has made them naturals to lead our international Adventures. Nevertheless, the Lemmons also love being "homebodies”, and if you were to visit them at their small farm near Mt. Rainier, you might find Denise tending the garden with a grandchild or two in tow, and Pat, inevitably, puttering around on his tractor.
