The Robinson Bros

Read on for a bio of each of the Robinson Brothers: co-founders of the Dark Sky Guides.

Keith B. Robinson

The oldest of the four brothers, Keith is one of the few individuals that live in the Waterton townsite year-round. He has a Bachelor of Commerce business degree in Tourism Management; he is a Certified Tourism Professional (Tour Guide) through Tourism HR Canada; and he is a certified 4-Season Guide, a Professional Interpreter, and an Interpretive Specialist, as recognized by the Interpretive Guides Association. He holds an 80-hour Wilderness First Responder first aid certificate, in an effort to ensure the safest tour possible for guests. He is heavily involved in the local community, serving as an elected official for the local municipal council, Improvement District #4, and has served on various Associations’ Board of Directors, including the Waterton Park Chamber of Commerce. In 2018, Keith was named one of Canadian Traveller’s Top 40 Under 40. When he manages to find some free time (which isn't very often these days), Keith can be found kayaking, biking, occasionally scrambling up to the top of a mountain, and generally spending time outdoors with his wife, a German Shepherd dog, and two young children. And of course, there are always a few minutes at the end of every day to sit and stare at the stars.

Kevin Robinson

Like his brothers, Kevin is a true Waterton local and outdoor enthusiast. He spent most of his childhood enjoying and exploring the hiking trails of both Waterton & Glacier National Parks. Through mountain climbing & scrambling he found a way to get closer to the stars. Kevin has reached the summit of every mountain in Waterton and a handful in Glacier. He has been a tour guide in Waterton for over 10 years, is a certified Professional Interpreter through the Interpretative Guides Association, and holds a Bachelor of Commerce (B.Comm) Degree. Always maximizing his time in the wilderness, Kevin can be found trail running, mountain biking, kayaking, swimming in glacier lakes, wildlife watching, and camping under the spectacular starry skies of the Waterton Glacier International Dark Sky Park.

Kris Robinson

Kris Robinson is a Waterton local, and graduate from SAIT and the University of Calgary. He is an entrepreneur in Waterton Park, having operated a business for 5 years prior to starting DSG. In his free time he has traveled in Asia, Africa, Europe, Central America, South America, Australasia, and throughout North America. Waterton will always be home, and Kristopher continues to explore and discover the Park's hidden secrets. His interests are in the outdoors, philosophy, health, and wellness. When he's not working, he can be found adventuring in the mountains, swimming in the lakes, or walking barefoot through the forest with a book and pen in hand.

Mike Robinson

Michael is the youngest of the Robinson Brothers. He graduated from the University of Calgary in 2016 with a business degree in Tourism and Marketing. He is a Professional Interpreter, as recognized by the Interpretive Guides Association. He has had the privilege to grow up observing his elder brothers learning from both their strengths and weaknesses. This has honed his skills and experience in both the tourism industry and mountain environment in the Waterton region. Michael has worked as a Tour Guide for over 10 seasons in Waterton Lakes National Park. He continually pursues his passion and desire to enhance tourism opportunities in Southern Alberta now with Dark Sky Guides! When Michael is free of prior commitments you'd be lucky to find him in some of the more remote regions of the Crown of the Continent. Ranging from hiking the last of the peaks within the Crown, camping at alpine lakes, photographing wildlife, identifying various plants and insects or simply sitting and contemplating the purity and sacredness found within the mountains.
