One trip blended into another, and before I knew it I had gone from the deep blue waters of the sea of cortez in Mexico to the neon turquoise paradise of Barbuda, deep in the Caribbean.  It was amazing to be able to experience so many different cultures in such a short time, and on top of that pull it off with some amazing friends along the way. Mexico delivered like I always knew it could, I met some of the most genuine people on the planet in St. Lucia,  the boat trip from Antigua opened my eyes to the only way do the caribbean (sailboat) and every time I think about Puerto Rico I want to book the next 4am flight in.

BACKGROUND I started kiteboarding in 2001 with a homemade PVC bar, Victoria skimboard and 3-meter Prism foil kite. After my first 5 mile downwinder, I was hooked (well, unhooked since I didn’t have a harness at the time, but you get the idea). During the long walk back up the beach, I felt that no matter what happened I needed to find a way to be a part of this new, insane sport.

It wasn’t until fall 2005 that I started editing footage of friends kiteboarding as a way to keep myself sane through a long injury. Editing led to a business plan, a new camera and eventually the company known today as Cineaptic Digital Media. CDM specializes in all forms of digital media production, including HD video acquisition, color grading, editing, motion graphics, photography and design.
