Q:
What is your favorite outdoor activity? Why?

A:
My favorite outdoor activity is beach volleyball. It’s something that everyone can play and have fun doing (as long as they aren’t taking it too seriously). Beach volleyball is one of the quickest ways to make friends and meet new people. It’s also a great workout if you’re looking to burn fat and get tan.

Q:
Why did you want to be a geckobrands Ambassador?

A:
I’ve had a geckobrands waterproof backpack for years and it’s been one of my favorite bags to take with me when I travel. It gives me peace of mind that my valuables will remain safe from the elements like rain and sand.

Q:
How would you explain what geckobrands represents?

A:
geckobrands represents freedom and exploration. No limits. When I think of geckobrands, I am reminded of security and durability. Do anything active and not have to worry about your valuables.

Q:
What geckobrands product is your favorite?

A:
Paddler 45L Waterproof Backpack.

Q:
How do you use your Paddler 45L Waterproof Backpack in what you do?

A:
I take it with me to the beach when I train, on hikes when I like to adventure, and on trips where I need to compete in wet conditions (which seems like every tournament outside of California haha)

Q: 
Why do you feel geckobrands can make an impact?

A:
I feel like the beach volleyball scene doesn’t have a brand for bags that really dominates the market. Tournaments outside of California seem to rain more often than not. Having a bag that keeps everyone’s valuables dry and protected seems like something people would want.
