Biography: I was raised in the whitewater rafting industry, learning to read water before I could read a book. Growing up in Fayetteville afforded me the opportunity to be around some of the best whitewater in the US, and I took as much advantage as I could. I started helping out on big Upper New trips at age 12, guiding the New and Gauley from age 18, started kayaking at 21, and competing as a pro in 2003. Now, I manage North American River Runners, travel and compete as a member of Team Wave Sport, and try and share my passion for whitewater with as many people as possible!

Highlights: 2nd Ohiopyle Over the Falls Freestyle, Highest Run on New River Gorge (90,000 cfs), Organizer of Ladies on the Lower Gauley Fundraiser (2003-present),
