Why DPB: To honor the memory of Mike Semkus. To evolve as an athlete and a person. To do awesome stuff in the water with awesome people.
Favorite challenge: My favorite challenge was our swim from the Long Wharf to Shelter Island in 2018. It was my favorite because we had a big crew of the Sagg Main boys and it was our first ever DPB swim.
Most difficult challenge: The most difficult challenge was the Plum Island Punch due to the cold and the mental element of being in true open waters.
Next objective: Get tubed on my backside in surfing; prone paddle >15 miles.
