About

Fill-in-the-Blank Bio:
I’m not against working, I’m just enjoying my life of kayaking, or at least that’s what my girlfriend says. I’ve traveled the world in search of whitewater no less than 14 years of my life paddling wherever I can find the goods. While mountain biking during droughts, I occasionally daydream about surfing the New River Dries, but that doesn’t mean I can’t avoid hitting trees too! My favorite local river to paddle is Manns Creek in WV, but I also love helixing the big waves down the road from my house.

Why do you Paddle?
It is the way I put myself into a state of bliss, totally focused, and unaware of anything outside of the gorge that I am in.
