What I enjoy most is the challenge and also the friends that I've made in waterskiing over the years. I also like that it's kind of a family sport for us and sometimes it feels like a big family event.

My parents were both into waterskiing and they got me started when I was very young with skis on wet grass and got me into snow skiing too.

I just try to have a good set and if I have a bad set I try to stay positive. Keeping positive is important, and my friends also motivate me when I'm competing.

In the next five years I would like to go to the Junior Worlds in Florida. I'd also like to go to The International Water Ski Tournament, The Worlds, the Pan Ams and the Masters.

Look ahead and keep your chin up. There's always going to be hard times and you'll get through them. Keep trying and don't give up. If you keep trying you'll be one of the best.
