First Season (year): 2003
Favorite Class: IV
Favorite Runs: Beaver - Eagle Section, Potomac Great Falls,Top Yough,Tallulah,Upper Yough,Difficult Run
Paddling is one of those things that just fits right into my personality and makes my life feel right.....now how to quit my job and paddle full time....
I can have fun on a playful class III run (Lower Yough, Goshen Pass,etc) but I really come alive when we get to hit the technical steeper stuff! Finally getting out on some new runs! It's great to be hitting some new stuff and finding myself completely comfortable and even feeling like things are easy. Hope it continues!

Feel free to email me I'm always looking for more people to boat with!
Top 5 reasons to boat with me:
1) I'm a nice guy
2) I don't drink or smoke so I won't use up your stuff
3) I bring safety stuff and spare equipment where ever I go
4) I have a water proof digital camera that can also take sweet videos
5) I'm a nice guy damn it! ;-)
