Laguna Beach, CAIn My Own Words
I grew up in Laguna Beach, CA surfing and playing music. At 25, I recently achieved my degree in Public Relations from California State University Fullerton and plan to work back in the Surf industry. For most of my youth I was competing as a traveling surfer before going on to help manage the team of my sponsor; Hurley. Currently I am located in Laguna Beach CA after moving home from the North Shore of Oahu working for FreeSurf Magazine as their Content Coodinator. I am aware of all the new media tools used to promote a business in an effective way; however, I feel that my skill set applies to all areas within the surf industry.
