Where are you from? Jupiter, Florida! (Born in New York)
Your age? 22
Where did you grow up? Jupiter!
Tell me a little bit about yourself I'm a professional kitesurfer for Cabrinha, NPX, and transcend. I am a full time college student at Connecticut College studying human development and education. Pretty much all i do now besides study and try to pick up girls, is strapless riding on my surfboard.

Music? Jack Johnson, Donovan Frankenrieter, the Beatles, Slightly stoopid, Bob Marley, and more.

Interested in..? Strapless kitesurfing, playing guitar, and hanging with good friends and pro riders like Damien Leroy and Greg Norman

Food? Anything that doesn't come out of the ocean.

Heroes? Superman
Favorite kitesurfing spots for you? kite beach Jupiter and Matunuck, Rhode Island
How long have you been doing this? who's counting?
Why kitesurfing? Sure there are a lot of really cool sports out there, but kitesurfing is the only sport where you feel limitless. This kinda sums it up, "if you have the capacity for imagining it, you can do it."

What does your family think of this? They think its neat haha

What does this sport mean to you? It simply means expressing myself. I used to just try to impress people, then my sponsors, and now i just go and have fun because at the end of the day thats what its all about.

Favorite tricks? They change everyday, yesterday it was a strapless air of a lip with a 180 back onto the wave.

Have you ever been in an accident? Yea, tore all the ligaments in my ankle.

Vision...you wishes for the future…. I wish i would wake up to 25 knots and head high waves tomorrow, and i can't see the future, im not a psychic.
