Landing the KGB 540 off the double up was one of the coolest moments I've ever experienced on my wakeboard. I had tried it nearly 30 times over the span of a year, and it took so much grit to finally put it down. When I landed it, I was in total shock and disbelief. Pulling off a trick I'd dreamed about for y ears was hands down one of my favorite moments on my board.

One of the most valuable lessons I've learned in my career is to embrace the process in everything that you do. Greatness doesn't happen overnight, so it's crucial to be patient and appreciate the small steps for what it takes to achieve your overall goal. Also, another big lesson its to celebrate the "little wins", whether it's learning a new grab or simply trying a trick for the first time. To me, a win isn't just landing that big trick or winning a contest, it's learning something from every experience that you have.

LF has been by my side since the beginning, and it's amazing to think they believed in me when I was just starting out 13 years ago. Being part of such a close group of people who genuinely care so much about waterspouts means everything. I'm proud to represent LF and to help create products that so many people get to enjoy. Even more so, I'm passionate about everything the brand stands for, and I think that shared passion is why we are still doing this thing!

Life itself inspires me. The people I am surrounded by, the places that I'm lucky enough to travel to, and the experiences I get to have. All of these things cohesively impact my creativity, and it's always ever changing with each new chapter.

Well, I'm definitely having way too much fun because of wakeboarding. The fact that I get to stand on a board and glide across the water as my job is just wild to think about. Sure, my life lacks some structure with all the traveling I do, and I can't always keep up with my hobbies consistently, but honestly, I wouldn't trade it for anything.
