THE STORY
BUILDING IT IN PUBLIC.
I've been sailing Los Angeles waters since 1998. I stepped away to build real skills in business, performance, and life and came back with a clearer mission: represent the USA at the 2028 Games, on the same water where I learned to sail.
There's no federation paycheck. No national program sponsoring my flights. I fund every regatta, every coaching session, every piece of gear myself and I document all of it. The unglamorous reality of chasing an Olympic berth at 35, while running a life, is the content.
That's the brand deal. You don't just get a tag in a post. You get integrated into a real story that people are following because they want to see how it ends.
CONTENT PILLARS
-
Olympic campaign, training at 35, self-funding the dream. Raw, honest, and unglamorous the stuff national team athletes never show.
-
Gear testing, data building, rigging setups, nutritional recovery protocols. Real equipment in real conditions, reviewed by someone who races on results.
-
How I show up: on the water, in the gym, on land. Style as a standard, not an afterthought. Proof that performance and taste aren't opposites.
-
Building income streams and brand relationships in public. Early, honest, specific the version of "building in public".

Real CONTENT.
REAL INTEGRATION.
Every partnership starts with a specific idea, a title, and a date — not a generic package. Here's what I deliver:
-
60–90 sec training, gear, and behind-the-scenes content. Hook-first, brand-integrated, not an ad read.
-
Daily organic-feeling touchpoints — polls, reactions, in-use product moments.
-
Gear breakdowns, training data, cost transparency — high-save, high-share format.
-
Long-form brand integration for partners who want depth over reach.
-
Tested in real training and real regattas. Honest, specific, not a press release.
-
Ongoing organic mentions with trackable links no campaign expiry date.
