What is your favorite trick? 

Getting barreled.

How did you get into kiteboarding?

After watching HIGH I got lessons from Mauricio Toscano and it’s been on like DonkeyKong since then!

What motivated you to become a professional athlete?

Passion for being outdoors would have to be my number one motivation in becoming an athlete. But also my father was a traveling sports journalist so I think also growing up on the road with him and getting to know and see all different types of athletes really inspired me to peruse it as a professional career. 

What is #LiveFreeRideFree for you?

Kiteboarding is all about being out there in Mother Nature feeling that freedom that comes from the wind and water. #LiveFreeRideFree to me is the unconditional joy and great fullness that we all equally get to experience when doing what we love!

Your motto?

PRACTICE IT RESPECT IT SEND IT:) You can do anything if you have belief.
