Tell us a little bit about yourself

I enjoy traveling to new rivers and paddling them. Some of my favorite rivers are The Ocoee, Brown Canyon on The Arkansas, Foxton Stretch of South Platte near Denver.

When I am on a river and playing I like to splat, spin, and make the rapids my canvas. I live on the river in Denver, Colorado and paddle a lot.
