ROB RIMAN

AFTERSCHOOL TEACHER

Rob Riman passed his youth roaming Lake Michigan’s upland ravines and paddling tributary headwaters of the Mississippi. Following studies in geology, he spent a decade leading expeditions among remote alpine heights and through coastal backwaters, from Alaska to Mexico. A subsequent phase in NYC, building traditional wooden boats with urban youth, led him to graduate work and professional pursuits in architecture and sustainable design. Today, Rob delights in his role as place-sourced educator, embracing landful living practices, while working to decolonize his own learning. Homeschool dad to two semi-feral children, and dedicated student of the protector arts, Rob resides along the former shoreline of the Quinobequin’s impounded estuary, on traditional territory of the Massachusett Tribe.
