Years Paddling:
7
Where can you usually find me?I spend most weeknights and the weekends at the fire station
Favorite Bodies of Water:The Nile, Zambezi, Columbia Gorge Watershed, Ottawa, South Silver, Golden Gate, the Kaweah, and anything in West Virginia.
Why boat/paddle?I kayak because it takes me to places that I otherwise had little knowledge of existing. It allows me to temporarily block out other things. When I am on the water I am 100% focused on the task at hand. I paddle because I like being outside in places that sometimes only kayakers can get the chance to see.
Accomplishments:2005 National Junior Champion
Sponsors:NRS, AT Paddles
Why NRS?I like NRS because they consist of a low key, personable group of individuals who make a wide variety of functional quality products. Every year I notice NRSs growth as a company. They are always thinking up new products and ways to improve them. They are a gear company composed of kayakers, and that is exactly what makes their brand appealing. They respect their team are extremely generous with their sponsorships, which is VERY rare and I appreciate that.
Hero(s):My Fire Chief: Tony Corbin and the guys that I work with
Music Rotation:I have actually been listening to a lot of country lately.
