My passion for boating and wakesurfing has not only enriched my life, but has also been a driving force in helping my two children to become world champion, professional wakesurfers. Through strategic branding efforts, I have guided them in developing a unique identity that highlights their talents and dedication to the sport, ultimately helping them establish a strong presence both on and off the water. I have actively engaged in their journey by helping them to leverage social media to showcase their skills and achievements, and to create visually captivating content that resonates with their audience. Additionally, I have worked to increase their visibility in the wakesurfing community by fostering connections with sponsors and fellow athletes.
