“I started dragon boat doing a race with my coworkers on a corporate team in 2013. After that, I branched into SUP, OC, prone, and surfski racing. Ultimately, I came back to start K2N to help promote paddling in my local area.

Racing and competing is fun; it's always full of triumph and lessons to learn. To me, impacting the community and helping people find their own passion in the sport is the most memorable aspect for me. It goes beyond personal accomplishment for me, stemming more into "what can I help this person accomplish.’ ”
