I'm from Havelock, North Carolina. I started swimming when I was four years old and progressed very rapidly. Moved to Maui, Hawii in my early teen years and delt with many types of ocean activity. When I was 16, I started Lifeguarding at MCCS Cherrypoint, North Carolina. After a few months I got interested in teaching swim lessons so I had taken a Water Safety Instructor class through the American Red Cross. I'm currently a senior at Havelock High School and writing this book for my CCGP(Craven County Graduation Project) of 2011-2012 school year.
