Originally from Annapolis, MD, where my background is rooted
heavily in competitive sailing, I relocated to Miami, FL in 2017.  Prior to joining Cabrinha, I attended the College of Charleston in South Carolina where I earned a business degree and was a 2 time All-American and multi time national champion in sailing. 

After college, I pursued a career in professional sailing while also coaching the US Naval Academy Dinghy Sailing Team.  I coached Navy through several national championships and was able to secure a world championship victory myself before pivoting and diving headfirst into a watersports career. 

My very first kite was a Cabrinha Nomad, purchased in the
Columbia River Gorge in 2010 and it was no looking back from then on!  I genuinely love and try to participate in every single watersports discipline – kite, wing foiling, prone foiling, SUP foiling, and parawing.  My go-to discipline these days has been parawing – I absolutely love the freedom of riding bumps on a foil with nothing in my hands.  I still love the diversity of the different sports and find myself returning to wing foiling when the waves get a little
steeper and more powerful and I’ll never grow tired of kite foiling,
particularly through the doldrums of the Miami summers!
