At A Glance
My love of sports started when I was a young boy riding bikes, swimming, surfing,
skateboarding; any sport, any time. My adventuresome spirits lead me to cliff dive in
Mexico while on vacation, that is when my new life began. The challenge at hand was
to find a sport that would fit in with my new lifestyle and still give me the rush of
exciting sports. Rugby fit the bill.
