Stoked to join you all in surf space! I have been surfing for 26 years now, and I love the joy being in the water brings and connecting with people excites me! Hope to get to know you all more and follow along your surf/life journey! Relocated from SD to KC so my home break went from Seaside to Waco! Looking to learn more about wavepools and hopefully bring one to KC one day!

Hey guys, looking forward to getting to know people here in Surf Space! I started surfing in 1985 in Huntington Beach. I was fortunate to be mentored in life and surfing by some of the local pros in the area who surfed my local break. During that time I was able to get sponsored and worked at the famous OP Pro where I was able to be around Tom Curren, Occy and others in their prime years. I consider myself an intermediate surfer still after all these years although I have surfed some of the best waves on the planet to include Jeffreys Bay, Honolua Maui, Punta Roca El Salvador. I live in Carlsbad, CA now with my wife and have three kids. My favorite breaks are Swamis, Oceanside Harbor and Cardiff Reef. We own a local surf brand called Degree 33 and I love surfing everything from shortboards on up to longboards on smaller days but I have spent a lot of time riding various sizes of midlengths. Here’s a couple shots of me surfing in the last several years. I also love fishing and am getting into golfing 🏄🏿‍♂️🎣🏌️‍♂️ My dream trip is to go to the Mentawais which I hope to do next year. The thing I love most about surfing is the way it takes you away from everything going on in life and allows you to be fully present with the ocean and the experience of God’s creation. I like to call it saltwater therapy. That’s enough about me, hope to meet many of you soon 🤙🏼 Photos of El Salvador trip and one of my latest custom Degree 33 boards: 6’ Twin Fin Channel Bottom Speed Egg model
