SPORTING PHILOSOPHY/ MOTTO
Getting on the water, spreading the stoke of kayaking to all that is out there. One of the many reasons I love kayaking is getting to teach others about the sport I've most of my time into so if they can love it just as much or a little less that a win!
FAVOURITE PADDLING COURSE
Columbus, Georgia where the next world championships is going to be held.
AMBITIONS
To win as many world championships as possible and to get as many people on the water as possible
