I have established myself in rowing as an elite athlete and coach. In 2009, I was a member of the U23 USA National Team and Senior USA National Team, and won a silver medal in the 4-. I was an IRA National Champion, Pac-10 Newcomer of the Year, and winner of major events like San Diego Crew Classic and Head of the Charles at UC Berkeley (2008-2010). I was at Orange Coast College (2007-2008) as team captain and won the award for Oarsman of the Year.

As an accomplished coach, I have taken multiple crews to Youth, Junior, and U23 World Championships. Presently, I am Newport Sea Base Rowing's Men’s Head Coach (2014-2017, 2018-Present), and have taken seven crews to Youth Nationals, as well as developing rowers racing overseas. In the past, I have held various coaching positions at the US National Team, Orange Coast College, Newport Aquatic Center, USC, and Marin Rowing Association, creating multiple national champions.

I earned a B.A. in Interdisciplinary Field Studies in Technology and Society at UC Berkeley."

My experience in rowing spans both competition and coaching. I began rowing at Casitas Rowing (2012-2016) before joining Orange Coast College (OCC) Rowing (2016-2018), where I won a silver medal in the 2nd Novice 8+. I then rowed for UCLA (2019-2020), continuing to refine my skills at the collegiate level.

I transitioned into coaching, serving as Head U17 Men's Coach at Casitas Rowing (2020-2022), then moving to OCC Rowing (2022-2024). I now coach at Newport Sea Base Rowing (2023-Present), where my crews have achieved national success, including a 1st-place finish at Regionals and a 5th-place finish at Youth Nationals in the U16 4x+.

I hold a Bachelor of Arts in History from UCLA, blending my passion for rowing and education to help develop future athletes
