About Me:

I love whitewater, good music, good people, and great beer. I started boating in 01' when I lived in Tallulah Falls (sweet mountain cabin). I learned on the Chattooga (it was down the road). I recently joined the Atlanta Whitewater Club. I am a member of the ACA. I have been through some crazy stuff that kept me away from boating. I am getting back into it after a 3 year drought from the sport. And it feels great to be back and around great people who love being on the river.

I am looking to progress in the sport and find the right folks to help me reach some of the goals I have set for myself. I've been back in a boat since March of this year and I have the bug.....the itch...addicted if you will. I simply can't get enough. The drought in the SE is killing me so you will most likely find me on the Ocoee every weekend.

Paddling:

River Running, Creeking, Wild Water

Favorite Rivers:

Chattooga, Upper Ocoee, Middle Ocoee, Cheoah, and the Broad at flood stage

Boats:

Liquid Logic CR, LL Jefe and love it, and 2 old school Shane Wave Skis (oldies but goodies)

Other Activities:

Making money to go boating.
Jazz cocktail hour with my wife.

Music:

Classic Rock, Bluegrass, Jazz, and the Dead

Movies:

I'm currently going through AFI's top 100 movies of all-time. Netflix has been sweet.
Paddle Porn.

Books:

Anything that has to do with the outdoors.

Good Things:

Finding good people to paddle with.
Good conversation
Having a wife that understands my passion for the river and the boating community.
A cold beer after a river run.
Laughter

Hateful Things:

Having the wrong people to paddle with.

PFD of the Middle "O"

The day finally came at last. Sunday June 1st will be a day I will always remember. It was 7 years in the making and it was everything I thought it would be and then some. My PFD of the Middle Ocoee.

The morning drive from Athens, GA proved to be be a task from the get go. A horrific thunderstorm in Cleveland, GA led me to believe that I would not make it to the Ocoee for my first attempt. Hurricane type winds, hard rain, and dime sized hail made the trek slow going. I pushed on knowing I would… Continue
