Personal info: Started out on the Metro Hooch this summer with a friend. I discovered AWC (Atlanta Whitewater Club) and suddenly I had a lot more friends and paddling buddies. Spent my 2006 summer and fall on Cartecay, Nanty, Toccoa and winter 2007 I hit Section 3.5 on the Chattooga, picking up my first combat roll at Bull's Sluice. Since then I've run the Tellico Ledges, LRC Chairlift, a little of the Little.

More recently I have moved to Wenzhou, China. I maintain two blogs, one at MySpace and the other with World Kayak. I'm teaching my brother-in-law, Liu Jiang, & his son, Hang Hang, to kayak. I was thrilled to recently watch them on their first Class II rapid! Check my blogs for more stories and the occasional photo.
