How did you hear about Houston Heat? I work with Bao
What do you do when you're not dragon boating? (i.e., hobbies, sports,
cross-training, leisure, work, etc) I love to play soccer. I am on an
over-30 co-ed team and have been playing with them for almost 15
years. I like to work out at the gym most nights, and when I’m
not moving I like to read. Lately I’m reading books that my 16 year
old daughter had read and likes. I am very competitive and love a
challenge.
When and how did you start dragon boating? I joined the Southern Union team in 2007 and practiced for the
Dragon Boat Regatta at ClearLake.
What do you like best about dragon boating? I like going to the lake in the
morning and being on the water. I am also enjoying meeting the team.
Favorite dragon boat experience so far: Winning the Energy Cup last year.
The best thing about being a member of Houston Heat: Learning something
new, and learning a new sport.
Top tip you'd give new paddlers: Come to the practices.
