I am a family man, professional kayaker, web developer, official CKC representative for Freestyle Kayaking in Ontario, Canada, two time and current member of the Canadian National Freestyle Kayak Team. My fiance Lisa and I own and operate Liquid Skills which is both a kayak and stand up paddle boarding school based on the Ottawa River in Canada. We run client trips all over the world, specialty clinics, SUP 'Stand Up Paddle Boarding' courses and more. Each year Liquid Skills spend 3-4 months training and running client trips in Costa Rica. Currently, I am  training on the infamous whitewater in my backyard on The Ottawa River.   I'm fired up this year, training hard and figuring out a new carbon fiber boat that I just designed and brought out the first prototype. Life is good and I am trying to take advantage of every second of it, see you on the river!
