I was raised a few paces from the ocean on St. John in the Virgin Islands. A beautiful place with a complex history. I rode my first waves before i can remember but really got into surfing at 10. As a teen I traveled through the Caribbean and east coast doing what contest I could. When I graduated highschool I moved to Oahu for two years while attending university. Ended up transferring and finishing at Savannah college of art and design in 2020 with a major in Advertsing and branding. With the pandemic I've been home in the Caribbean freelancing, farming and pursuing my own brand.
