Who & What is Cotton Wolf?

The company's name, Cotton Wolf, does require a little explanation. The company is named in memory of an Iditarod running, snow loving, adventuresome canid pal who possessed profound listening skills. Her common identification: an Alaskan husky with a coat the color and texture of cotton.
Cotton Wolf had a matching disposition—warm, soft, and astonishingly strong. Running on a new plane of existence now, her inspiration still echoes here, in the programming, and in the company's acoustic curricula.
Cotton Wolf's Human Helpers
Dr. Andrea Lynn is Cotton Wolf's founder (alongside Cotton Wolf). An ecoacoustician, educator, and adventurer, Andrea is completely captivated by sound.
Her primary research, investigating the acoustic habitats of Arctic marine mammals, illuminated for Andrea not only her own, but humankind's disconnection with the planet.
She evolved Cotton Wolf from its roots in the art of storytelling to an experiential acoustics company engineered to address and heal the disconnections Andrea came to recognize and understand.
Dirk is the Cotton Wolf team's lead guide (lead dog in sled dog terms) with a knack for extreme preparedness. He rarely meets a challenge he's not up for taking on, and he just can't stay indoors. Dirk is a professional athlete and certified personal trainer.
His sense of humor is uplifting when the trail gets tough, and his agility and strength help ensure a safe journey. His safety certifications can be found on Cotton Wolf's Safety First page.
An excellent navigator (no getting lost in the woods when he's around), Dirk has stories from around the world to share, and, he's a magnificent storyteller.
