Born and mostly raised in Southern California, I began paddling at age 12 with Mike Eisert and Jamie Donnolly at The Paddle Academy (TPA) in Dana Point, California. I still paddle with Mike whenever I visit my second hometown of Laguna Niguel. Currently, I live in Norway, where I study Theology in college and paddle whenever possible, discoverying new surfing spots along the coast of where I live. I enjoy competing in SUP and embrace the lifestyle that comes with it, including reconnecting with old friends and making new ones at races.
