Only 2 Months till NORTH SHORE SEASON!

About Me

I am a Meteorologist and I live in Hawaii…the greatest place on the planet. It is one of the few places where you can start and end the day with a surf session (a ritual I have been doing since I moved here over six years ago). I surf religiously with my friends Charlie, Dave, Mark, Antoine, Katie J, and Talina. I have had some close calls flirting with reef at Pipe, Gas Chambers, and Bowls, but it is the adrenaline rush of the drop, the sound of getting barreled, and the conversations in the lineup that keep me out there. Work has taken me around the world several times where I have seen hundreds of places and met countless numbers of people, some of whom have become the best friends I have ever known. If you are visiting my page from around the globe, hit me up...life is all about networking! When I am not working I am usually reading/studying or surfing (the trifecta of my life). I want to throw a shout out to my Aussie mates, my friends back in Ohio and Nevada, and my compadres from the NAV…because without you guys my life would be pretty boring! Remember…”Always strive to reach your goals, but ensure you take time to enjoy life along the way.” See you around…
