I’m a MyCU journalism graduate who used to be a buyer and reviewer of a big sporting goods store in the USA.
Now I mostly work as a camp instructor and ski coach between South Africa and Colorado. My hobbies include skiing, snowboarding, surfing, climbing, biking kiting, fishing, kayaking and just about anything that gets the adrenaline pumping.
I love anything to do with outdoors but I’m best happy on the slopes, water or writing.
I have a blog where I interview extreme sports professionals and review the some of the best outdoor products on the market (I get to do both of my passions).
