My time in Princeton, New Jersey has come to an end. I was here to train and prepare my boat for the World Championship Trials, which took place at Mercer Lake. I feel very fortunate to be having the opportunity that has been presented to me since I was invited earlier this year to be [...]

Give Back & Make a Difference
July 1, 2011 By 4 Comments
After a wonderful weekend on Maui participating in OluKai’s 3rd Annual Ho’olaule’a, I was able to experience a day of giving back that I had never done before.
