What comes with being a wake skimboarder?

You have to explain to everybody what it is, and how you ride on the wake with no rope

Where do you think the future progression of the sport will occur?

I think that the sport will continue to take over the wakeboard market because it is a sport that isn't hard on your body and people of all ages and skill levels can enjoy it. Most people that can afford a boat are older anyways, so I have a feeling the boat companies will get more and more into it as well.

If you don't spend the day riding, what do you do?

Actually, I have a full time job in medical sales. I also live hiking with my dog Kiwi, running stand up paddleboarding in the waves, yoga, cooking, and traveling.

If you had to pack up and leave in a hurry, what would you grab and where would head?

I would grab Kiwi and everything I could fit in a suitcase. I'd head to Tahiti, then Bali, then Australia.

Who or what inspires you most?

My parents... They are my best friends!

What is your idea of perfect happiness?

Having a house on a tropical beach where there is surfing and kiteboarding, having a "part time" job with endless vacation time, and being with friends family and loved ones everyday!

What do you consider your greatest achievement?
