I have not surfed in well over 3 years, after the sport being an integral part of my life for over 18 years. I started my career in the the surfing industry and was an avid surfer as well. I am going to get back in the water with my new custom ride from Matt Kechele. I have been riding Matt’s boards since I was about 17 years old and still remain loyal to his brand.  I like to say that the surf industry raised me to the be the business person I am today and a lot of credit goes to the loyal friends and colleagues I have in the industry.
