"I love to surf, as a matter of fact I live to surf being able to pass on the art of surfing has become the greatest accomplishment of my life so far. From seeing students catch their first wave to training them to become Blue Water Warriors and win their first contest. It is an honor, a career, and a way of life that I shall uphold to the highest level for the remainder of my existence."
