About 

First and foremost I am active member of the USRowing community. I've been rowing competitively for 15+ years and have been coaching for 5+ years. 

When not rowing - one could find me in the office working on a variety of architectural projects (residential new construction and additions/renovations, commercial and religious). I've been working in the Architectural sector for 10+ years and love every second of it. 

 And if one cannot find me in the office than best check the ocean because I'll probably be on my surfboard.
