BIO: Born and raised in San Jose, CA. Started boating with my family in 1994 when we got our first boat. The first time I saw anyone wakeboarding I knew that was what I wanted to do. We went out and got a Wake Tech big air and also bought the classic movie “Gravity Sucks” which is still to this day one of the best videos out. Coming from snowboarding I instantly fell in love with wakeboarding and have gotten more and more involved in the sport as the years passed. I grew up riding the delta as well as some of the local lakes like Calero and Anderson. I moved to Sacramento in 2001 to attend CSUS to ride more, be closer to Tahoe, and oh yeah go to school. I currently live in Sacramento and ride and work for Hyperlite Wakeboards. I also teach private wakeboarding lessons all over California as well as Folsom lake where I have Operated Launch Wakeboarding School since 2008.
Wakeboarding has taken me to some great places all over the U.S. from Washington to Florida and I have met a lot of good people in and outside of the industry along the way.
