Whats your biggest passion besides water skiing?

Coaching

How did you get into water skiing?

With my parents at their ski school in Italy.

Why do you water ski?

Nothing makes me feel more alive.

What would you tell a young athlete thinking about getting into the sport?

Keep pushing hard and have fun at the same time.

Share your favorite memory of Dave?

One of my favorite memories was out unforgettable trip to Costa Rica. Dave picked me up in Orlando in his jet and we spent a week skiing and having fun. He even let me pilot and take off in his jet. It was a great time with Dave and Dawn.

If you could only ski on one ski for the rest of time, which would you choose?
