About Me: I started kayaking a few years back with my younger brother, Brendan.

A couple of my favorite experiences on the water are scouting out and paddling the first descent of Summit Creek in Washington, spending a week in Mexico paddling and filming big drops, and traveling to Chile with the World Class Kayak Academy.

Professional Accomplishments: Sharing with my brother the record for biggest waterfall run by a junior- 82 ft. Metlako Falls, taking first place in 2009 Northwest Creeking Competition Huckfest, and placing first in the 2010 Futaleufu Downriver Sprint 

Why you love kayaking: For me, nothing can compare to the feeling of paddling through a dynamic class V rapid. Not to mention you can meet some pretty cool people and visit some pretty cool places through the sport.
