It takes a team.
I am lucky to have an amazing support system and could not be pursuing my goals without help.
Supporting Partners
Spid Werks
The Spid Werkz Foundation advances elite athletes who embody the spid lifestyle of high performance, dedication, sportsmanship, camaraderie, and community.
Portland Boat Club (PBC)
PBC has been very supportive of my rowing ambitions; they provide me with financial support, equipment, and bend over backwards to help me with my training. I’ve been a member for nearly 20 years!
Station L Rowing Club
Station L helps with financial support, equipment, and technical advice. They also have a bunch of fast rowers for me to train with and against! I am also part of their coaching staff.
Dr. Zabell/Urban Wellness
The practitioners at Urban Wellness provide me with a variety of healthcare tools including: access to a hyperbaric chamber, acupuncture, and nutritional supplements. Their treatments help with my Parkinson’s Disease symptoms, which allow me to row at the Paralympic level.
Evolution Healthcare and Fitness
Evolution gives me free access to their amazing gym, which includes an altitude room full of equipment (including an indoor rowing machine). I also see their chiropractors and physical therapists when needed.
Lazarus Naturals CBD
I use Lazarus Naturals products every day! I love their CBD balm for sore spots and lotion for massaging tired legs. I also take their high potency CBD tincture. My dog loves their CBD dog treats too!
NK Sports Rowing Equipment
I received an NK Empower oarlock for my boat as part of their grant program. The Empower oarlock is a great tool that measures and reports technical rowing information to help me make improvements in real-time.
USRowing
USRowing provides financial support and health insurance!
Brian Grant Foundation
I am on the BGF Patient Advisory Council, which is fun and helpful. In addition to working with a great organization, I interact with other people with Parkinson's.
JL Rowing – Ambassador
As a JL ambassador, I receive product discounts. Rowers love JL gear, myself included, as it is designed by rowers for rowers.
