Summary

Guided by a heart for service and a deep connection to the Huntington Beach community, I’m passionate about helping the next generation grow into confident, resilient, and grounded individuals. I believe in the power of sport and mentorship to shape lives by offering kids the tools, encouragement, and structure they need to thrive. My purpose is rooted in creating positive spaces where young people are challenged, supported, and inspired to become the best versions of themselves both in and out of the water.
