When did you first get involved with Salt Life?
I've been involved with Salt Life since 2017 when I started to pursue competitive paddling, although I've been living the Salt Life and using their gear since I started paddling in 2011.

What is your favorite hobby when you’re not living the Salt Life?
I love homesteading! I really enjoy gardening and growing my own food, especially to dehydrate and pack my own meals for ultra-distance paddling expeditions, or for longer overnight camp/paddle trips. I find a lot of joy in working in my yard with my hands in the dirt.
