I moved out west in 1995 and started kayaking within a year. From that moment on I was hooked on this sport and the people I met along the way. I am an active member of the Sea Kayaking community and hold certifications with the American Canoe Association and the British Canoe Union. I got my meager start in repairing kayaks through a class I took and have been repairing kayaks professionally since 2001. I have an enthusiastic passion for the art of repairing and working on all paddle craft. I work on paddleboards, standup boards, surfboards, surf boats, kayak surf boats, canoes, surf ski,s and wave boards.
