About Me:
Currently 20, I’ve had my heart set on being a pro wakeboarder since I started at age 12. Although I live on a lakefront at Lake Conjola, NSW, I was unable to pursue my passion until I finished year 12 at boarding school in Canberra. I was lucky that my parents supported me and my dream to become a pro. In 2008 I spent six months living in the USA competing in the US pro tour and training over the summer in Orlando, Florida. I intend to continue spending the Australian winters in US competing and returning for our summers. I love being involved with wakeboarding, Malibu boats and an outdoor lifestyle. Am looking forward to spending some time this summer on Malibu’s Just Ride Tour coaching and throwing down some demo’s behind the new Wakesetter VLX! See you on the water.....
Hobbies:
Wakeboarding, Waterskiing, Barefooting, DJing, Snowboarding/Skiing
