Only two more weeks or work and then it's boating time! After a long Wisconsin winter (it snowed today), I'm ready for warmer weather and spring melt.

This year I will have an early start to the season and am focused on training and competing. I hope to finish on the podium at the BV Pro Rodeo, Vail, Lyons, and Fibark. My bank account will then determine if Gunnison and Nationals in Boise are in the mix.

After the competition season ends I will be teaching lessons at Rocky Mountain Outdoor Center (www.rmoc.com) so come take a lesson!

See you on the water!
