When did you first get involved with Salt Life?

I’m new to Salt Life, but obviously gravitate to the brand’s lifestyle. There’s no better life than a salty one!

What are you most passionate about?
I'm really passionate about promoting and representing the Texas surf community. We are the forgotten coast, but may truly be the most committed surfers in the world. This is a challenging coastline to become a surfer, but we have a great community, surfing organization and a pure passion to find waves.
