On a personal note: My passion in life is to enjoy nature, adventure, fitness and health. I learned at a young age that I wanted others to have this passion too. In my early teens I took my first job in the health and fitness industry and never looked back!
Stand up paddle boarding is an easy and accessible way to for folks to explore and enjoy the outdoors and enjoy fitness!
