growing up...

As a child and teenager, I was always active and played sports.  I played Pop Warner Football, Little League Baseball, ran Cross Country/Track and raced Mountain Bikes at the Semi-pro level.  My hobbies were Snowboarding, Surfing, Skateboarding and riding Dirt bikes.  

I was always up for an adventure, surfing trip to Baja California, traveling to the other side of the world or hiking Mount Fuji.  Sports and adventure have always been my outlet, passion and identity.

I never imagined that something I loved so much would turn my life upside down.
