I was born August 22^nd 1982 in the first town in the very first State, Lewes, Delaware. Since I was 5 months old my whole family lived summers in Ocean City, MD and winters in Marathon, FL (Florida Keys). My dad, Stormy, was a commercial longline fisherman so we would go south in the winter to avoid the cold weather. My dad is still a longline fisherman in the summer out of Ocean City and for the past 6 years has been running the boat as a surf and dive charter boat in the Virgin Islands from December – May. He aslo catches sharks for aquariums for a month in the summer as well. My mom, Bev, is the chef on the boat during charter season and makes jewelry in the summer. She has been a silversmith and glass artist for most of her life. My brother, Drex, spends his summers as a real estate agent and surf guide in Nicaragua and spends the winter as a captain and a dive master on the boat with my dad.

I graduated high school in 2000 and moved straight to Orlando with hopes of becoming a professional wakeboarder. I turned pro in 2002. In 2006 I bought my first good video camera, Panasonic DVX100b, and started filming my first wake video right away. I finished the video, ”Box of Fun” in May 2009. In 2007 I started filming for Liquid Force and have been the head of Liquid Force Films ever since. I finished one year of film production at Valencia Community College in 2000-2001 but started traveling too much due to wakeboarding so I quit school and took the opportunity to travel the world. Now its 2012 and I’m still traveling, wakeboarding and documenting every adventure.

I have a B license for skydiving and am a certified rescue scuba diver. I’ve been surfing and skateboarding since I was 7. I would spend my winters in the Keys wakeboarding and skateboarding and summers in Ocean City skateboarding and surfing. I learned how to wakeboard when I was 8 but was kinda scared of the water so I didn’t do it much till I about 13. After that I couldn’t get enough of it and its gotten me to this point in my life.
