Put me on a sailing boat to make me happy.

White shark, they are/look relaxed(when not hunting), powerful and a killer instinct.

SHARE A FUN FACT ABOUT YOU AND SAILING:

I screwed up my own sailing carrier, I learned a lot from the mistakes I made. Now I am very proud I inspire and teach kids to do it the right way.

WHAT DOES SUSTAINABILITY MEAN TO YOU?

The future.

How do you live a more sustainable lifestyle?

It’s my job as a parent to educate my kid to be “eco” conscious and professionally I have a business that upcycles sailcloth into bags and accessories.

Through education you can go a long way.
