- Where Do You Find Peace And A Calm State Of Mind? What About Moments Of Adrenaline? Would You Say That You Live For Those Moments?
I Find Peace Through Yoga, Meditation And Giving My Mind And Body What It Needs To Thrive. I Also Love My Moments Of Adrenaline - Skiing Big Lines, Surfing And Skateboarding. These Are Definitely The Things That I've Centered My Life Around.
- What Inspires You? What Keeps You Going?
I Take A Lot Of Inspiration From Mother Nature. Ultimately, Everything Mirrors Nature. When We Connect Intimately With The Flow And Rhythm Of Nature, We Find Out True Self. I Feel Super Blessed To Be Able To Spend So Much Time Playing In Nature: Skiing And Surfing And I Feel Compelled To Do My Best To Protect Our Beautiful Planet.
- How Did You Get Started Surfing? Skiing?
Skiing Runs Deep In My Blood. My Grandfather Was A Filipino Immigrant Who Joined The Army And Was Stationed In Alaska - It Was There That My Family First Discovered Skiing. He Went On To Race For Decades In The Masters League And My Father Got A Full Ride Scholarship For Ski Racing. I Was Skiing Before My Second Birthday And Have Been Completely Enamored With The Mountains And The Sport Ever Since.
I Found Surfing Later In Life When I Was Attending Massage Therapy School In Costa Rica When I Was 19 Years Old. I Bought An $80 Used Surfboard The Day I Got There And Spent Every Free Moment In The Water. It's Been Really Special For Me To Be Able To Challenge Myself And Connect To The Ocean Through Learning A New Sport And Passion.
