Crazy Fact About You:  I’ve been a physical therapist forever. I’ve treated every type  of injury and athlete.
If Not Kayaking What Else Would You Be Doing? Mountain biking, road biking, snowboarding, SUPing, backpacking, really anything outside, traveling, momming
Why Do You Love Kayaking? The community, the friends, the multi day trips. Rivers can take you to the untouched parts of this world.  There is nothing better than sleeping under the stars, on a beach, with the sound of water all around you.
