History

Water and snow sports have been a passion of mine since elementary school. I loved visiting my grandparents house on the lake, tubing, and water skiing. I cherish the family bonds and memories forged there. My wakeboarding and wake sports immersion began in 2008, and I have been hooked ever since!

Present

Today, I look forward to sharing the fun of these activities! Whether you have family and friends who are brand new to wakeboarding or wakesurfing, an experienced crew, or a group who just wants to ride around in style, we can help you find a great time out on the water! For lessons, my past work experience teaching children and adults of all ages helps me explain the techniques, quickly assess your riding, and provide meaningful guidance for improvement.
