Former National Champion Eyes the Olympics at 41: Featured in Latitude 38

I was honored to be featured in Latitude 38, a publication that has long been part of the West Coast sailing community.

The article focuses on what it looks like to pursue an Olympic campaign at 41—after stepping away, building a career, and starting a family.

Highlights from the feature:

  • My return to competitive sailing after 19 years

  • Competing in the ILCA 6 fleet against world-class athletes

  • The role of experience, strategy, and resilience in racing today

  • Why this campaign matters—not just for me, but for others watching

One of the most meaningful parts of this feature was the framing: not as a long shot, but as a serious competitor with something to prove—and something to offer.

Because this isn’t about turning back the clock.
It’s about showing what’s possible when you move forward with everything you’ve learned.
